Following the arrest of several yeshiva students who did not respond to draft orders, an emergency discussion was convened at the home of Lithuanian stream leader Rabbi Dov Landau. The rabbi's office stated that "The meeting discussed response options. Last week in his speech, the rabbi warned that if the State of Israel declares war on Torah students, the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community worldwide will mobilize for a struggle. The State of Israel has declared war on Torah students. The ultra-Orthodox Jewish community will launch an unprecedented global struggle."
