Tal Committee Will Present its Conclusions to Barak Within Ten Days

by Yated Ne'eman Staff

Retired High Court Justice Tzvi Tal said that the committee he heads which was appointed in the wake of a High Court's directives to examine the issue of yeshiva students who study full time and to pass legislation regulating their army service, has completed its work. The report which summarizes the committee's conclusions should be presented to the Prime Minster within ten days.

The Tal Committee report, which includes conclusions and recommendations, still hasn't been officially published. Even though reports on its content are still unofficial, a wave of conflicting reactions from a broad range of the political and military sources have flooded the media.

The chairman of the committee, Justice Tal, said that he is astounded by the fact that people relate in such detail to matters which still haven't been officially published. One political party has already announced that it will submit a motion of no-confidence because of the recommendations.

In two weeks, a subcommittee of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee will hold a special meeting on the issue. Justice Tal was invited to that meeting in order to present firsthand the conclusions of the committee he heads.
