Israel ultra-Orthodox lose army exemption

Defence Minister Ehud Barak has given Israel's army one month to prepare to conscript ultra-Orthodox Jews, after a law exempting them expired at midnight (21:00 GMT) on Tuesday.
In February, the Supreme Court ruled the Tal Law, under which seminary students can defer military service, unconstitutional.
It said a revised law should be drafted by the end of July, but the political parties have failed to reach agreement.
Secular Israelis say the law is unfair.
Now that the law has expired, conscription is in theory governed by a law - passed in 1949 and last amended in 1986 - that requires all Israelis above 18 to enlist, unless specifically exempted by the defence ministry.
Mr Barak has instructed the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) to draw up a "practical proposal" on how to implement the 1949 law within a month, according to a statement by his office.
The proposal "will reflect and take into consideration the ruling of the High Court of Justice, the requirements and values of the IDF, the principle of sharing the burden of national service more equally, and the suitability of individuals for service, as is commonly accepted", the statement said.
It is widely expected that until it is ready, no steps with be taken to conscript any ultra-Orthodox.
The temporary solution is to remain in place until the Knesset agrees on a new law, according to Mr Barak's office.
