Basic training...
” ‘We’re all united against military service for religious men in Israel because it doesn’t allow for religious learning,’ “
Learn it now, or learn it later at the hands of a Muslim “teacher” swinging a sword.
OK, so draft some ultra-orthodox rabbis, and have them conduct classes after duty hours. Term of service is three years, so as an accommodation to the Haredi, let them serve reduced hours (to permit study), but increase the term to 5 years.
Personally, I think an underlying reason why the ultra-orthodox leadership objects, is that the military enables soldiers to form friendships and relationships with people outside the group they had been brought up in, which would make it much easier for ultra-orthodox young men to leave the ultra-orthodox community.
