以色列最高法院裁定削減拒服兵役極端正統派猶太人的補助
Israeli Supreme Court mandates benefit cuts for ultra-Orthodox draft dodgers
在一項歷史性的裁決中，以色列最高法院下令政府削減逃避兵役的極端正統派男性的財政補助。
In a historic decision, the Israeli High Court of Justice has ordered the government to cut financial benefits for ultra-Orthodox men who evade military service.
這項於2026年4月發布的裁決，標誌著國家在處理長期以來哈雷迪社群徵兵豁免問題上，出現了決定性的轉變。
This ruling, issued in April 2026, marks a decisive shift in how the state addresses the long-standing issue of draft exemptions for the Haredi community.
法院特別規定，各部會必須將獲得補貼的托育、住房、公共交通及市政稅減免，與公民的徵兵狀態掛鉤。
The court specifically mandated that ministries begin conditioning access to subsidized daycare, housing, public transit, and municipal tax discounts on a citizen’s draft status.
由於目前有數千名適齡服役男性無視徵兵令，法官諾姆·索爾伯格將這種情況描述為公然違法。
With thousands of military-age men currently ignoring conscription orders, Justice Noam Sohlberg described the situation as a blatant violation of the law.
法院亦要求對拒絕服役者採取刑事訴訟。
The court has also called for criminal proceedings against those who refuse to serve.
此舉旨在使以色列社會更公平地分配「不平等的負擔」，尤其是在當前人力短缺的情況下。
This move aims to distribute the 'burden of inequality' more fairly across Israeli society, especially amid current manpower shortages.
儘管極端正統派政黨將此視為對其生活方式和研讀妥拉的攻擊，但世俗和中間派勢力則視其為邁向國家平等的必要一步。
While ultra-Orthodox political parties view this as an attack on their lifestyle and Torah study, secular and centrist factions see it as a necessary step toward national equality.
