freezing arrests
At the behest of the Haredi parties, the Knesset passed the law a short while ago that enacts a temporary measure to freeze the arrests of yeshiva bochurim who have the status of being deserters. Without getting into the details, it is just a temporary measure and only applies to yeshiva bochurim (and will require supervision and inspections of the yeshivas).
I assume this law will be shot down by the Supreme Court pretty quickly. I do not see how you can pass a law to exempt some people from arrest for the same crime that other people are being arrested for at the same time.
I do not know why they did not propose an easy solution of freezing arrests of all deserters for the same period. That would provide equal application and would perhaps give it more of a chance of sticking (though I am no legal expert so may be entirely wrong about that).
