A picture taken on September 13, 2017, shows an Ultra-Orthodox Jew walking in the Ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim of Jerusalem. Israel's Supreme Court struck down a law on September 13, 2017 which previously exempted ultra-Orthodox men engaged in religious study from military service like their secular counterparts, saying it undermines equality and raising the possibility that they could be forced into service. The court however suspended its decision for one year to allow for preparations for the new arrangement – which also provides the government with the opportunity to pass a new law.
