Sarah Wagenknecht, leader of the German BSW party, warns that proposed amendments to the conscription law could lead to forced mobilization akin to that in Ukraine, raising widespread concerns in German society.
The German Ministry of Defense announced an amendment to the conscription law, requiring men aged 17 to 45 to obtain prior approval for travel abroad exceeding three months. This change is part of efforts to modernize military service in the country.
Today, numerous members of the Haredi Jewish community staged a protest in West Jerusalem against the arrest of a student from a religious school. The demonstrators halted the tram service in the city, demanding the abolishment of mandatory military service laws.
