...while Israeli army faces recruitment issues - Haredis' enlistment may mark the end of Israel Katz's appointment as Israeli "Defense" Minister. On the other hand Houthis and Hezbollah are undeterred
wow - this quote - The recruitment of Haredim is a matter of values, and they must enlist. If they do not, they should not receive budgets, they should not get passports, and they should not be allowed to travel to Uman (Ukraine). - - Seems like there's a deal between Ukraine and Israel - that's good news for Palestine. Unless they want to be able to go back and forth like Ulraine is becoming Israel 2.0 - But hopefully the Resistance can get them out once and for all
Also - something I was reading over the past 2 days was that part of the Lebanono - and the Lebanese Military are under the sway of the US - and so these ceasefire negotiations ( I was wondering ) may not be in line with Hezbollah ideas. It would be weird if the Lebanese governemnt agreed to a ceasefire and Hezbollah did not.
Of course personally I'd like to see the fighting continue in the ME until the Resistance is taking land from the entity and chasing them around inside their own yard. And even then to not stop until they all agree to get the hell out of Palestine, call it Palestine ( from the river to the sea ) and a Palestinian government and oversight committee be installed and all Israelis have t apply to stay there...and any who have EVER participated in the military ( IOF ) be deported forever.
wikipedia is helpful up to a point..here is a quote - "In 2018, the Israel Democracy Institute estimated that the Haredim comprised 12% of Israel's total population and 15% of its Jewish population.[155] Haredim are also younger than the general population. Their absence from the IDF attracts significant resentment from secular Israelis."
but i am still unable to fathom why the threat of not being allowed to travel to ukraine has been mentioned... i was thinking their might be some important connection between haredim and ukraine historically, but i am not seeing it.. anyone have an idea why this quote would be inserted - "and they should not be allowed to travel to Uman (Ukraine). " ? thanks..
"Each year, tens of thousands of pilgrims, mostly from Israel, have gathered for the Jewish New Year in Uman, home to the burial place of Rabbi Nachman, an 18th-century luminary and founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement. During his lifetime the rabbi had called on his followers to be with him on Rosh Hashanah."

No deal between Ukraine and Israel. Read the comment I have just written in response to James.
Regarding the relationship between US and Lebanon, I strongly suggest that you read Craig Murray's article I referred to in the PS at the end of my article. Here it is: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2024/11/usa-tries-to-pound-lebanon-into-submission/
Thanks Ismaele - I'll have a look
Valuable work much thanks, Ismaele

Since you quote Wikipedia, I will also do the same... :)
I think you may find the answer to your question here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ukraine
...and here as well:

...from where I quote:
"Each year, tens of thousands of pilgrims, mostly from Israel, have gathered for the Jewish New Year in Uman, home to the burial place of Rabbi Nachman, an 18th-century luminary and founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement.

Medzhybizh is the name of the place in ukraine where this takes place..
