Civil Service Commission enforces military conscription rules for government hiring

The Civil Service Commission issued a directive instructing government ministries to strictly enforce regulations that prevent individuals from obtaining government employment if they have not resolved their military conscription status. The measure, which follows instructions from Gali Baharav-Miara, clarifies that candidates legally required to enlist in the IDF cannot be hired for civil service positions unless their military status is properly arranged. The directive was distributed to human resources directors across various government sectors, including health, defense, and foreign affairs.

The directive requires the strict enforcement of existing civil service regulations concerning military service obligations. This measure impacts the labor supply within government ministries, specifically affecting Chareidi men involved in the drafting process. The Civil Service Commission stated that the directive does not introduce a new employment restriction.
