    JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Israel’s attorney general has frozen the transfer of hundreds of millions of shekels in recently approved coalition funding for Haredi educational institutions and youth programs, citing legal and procedural concerns tied to military conscription policy and budget oversight rules.

    Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said Monday that the funds, approved during late-night Knesset budget votes, cannot be released until they undergo required legal review. She argued the approvals were advanced without proper professional input and may run afoul of Supreme Court rulings concerning Haredi military exemptions and related state benefits.

    The disputed allocations were directed toward Torah institutions and programs for at-risk Haredi youth. According to her office, the changes were inserted through last-minute budget amendments intended to redirect funding streams within government ministries in a way that bypasses standard review procedures.

    Baharav-Miara instructed ministries not to implement the transfers until the legality of the process is examined, citing administrative requirements that mandate legal vetting of politically negotiated budget measures.

    Opposition figures welcomed the decision. Yair Lapid said the move halted what he described as improper funding approvals and pledged continued opposition to measures benefiting those who avoid military service.

    Representatives of Haredi parties strongly criticized the decision. MK Moshe Gafni said the budget had been properly approved by parliament and accused the attorney general of exceeding her authority.

    The dispute highlights ongoing tensions in Israel over military conscription exemptions for Haredi men, as well as recurring conflicts between the government, the attorney general’s office, and the judiciary over control of budgetary decisions.

    The hatred that this woman carries towards Hashem and his Torah make the most vile anti-Semites look tame. It’s not ”Chareidim” that she is after, they are just low-hanging fruit. She is looking to rip out any semblance of Judaism from the root.

    Look at her mugshot. you can immediately sot she is a reshante you can see her ugly mean expression. She thinks she is omnipotent, she thinks she is above everything, I doubt she is a real jew. Her day of reckoning will come soon.

    I knew last night the Rasha m’rusha byatch would waste no time.
    Until Israel is there is true democracy, without her and the Supreme Court Ayalatollas, Rov am will not be respected – and its applicable halachas can’t be applicable.

    Those that are DRAFT DODGERs should not get even one penny. Why take someone hard earned money and give it to unsupportive Criminal elements.
    Yes Criminals, by NOT standing together with your brothers in defending the country, which the law requires.

    Haredi sector $$$$ should simply be contingent on military service. And the Charedim-if smart- would embrace this. Because elections are coming in October, and in a population exhausted by war, this will become an important decider.

    1) She is a government official. It’s HER job and HER responsibility to interpret the law. If the gov’t does not like her interpretations, they can appoint someone else, after going through the legal process.

    2) Read the accounts of how the bill was passed, snuck in when legislators were exhausted and confused. Not so simple why, al pi halacha, it should not be reversed, as a mekach ta’us.

    like in America, no one is above the law and this shows a respect for the judiciary in the country.
