Israeli court ends military exemption for ultraorthodox, challenges coalition

Israel's supreme court rules unanimously to end military exemption for ultraorthodox religious students, impacting Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. The decision challenges the coalition's unity, with two ultraorthodox parties opposing conscription. The ruling suspends state subsidies for non-serving religious schools. The exemption, in place since 1948, has led to over 60,000 exemptions. Netanyahu aims to pass a bill increasing ultraorthodox military service, facing challenges due to current security concerns.
