It is extremely important to take action as soon as possible in order to arrange your legal status with the military authorities. Often there are extenuating circumstances that could enable an individual to obtain exemption from military service or circumstances that might justify some degree of consideration from the military authorities. We should point out that nowadays, the IDF does demonstrate greater readiness than in the past to provide those considered to be draft evaders with various solutions. In the past, the IDF refused to engage in any dialog with draft evaders as long as they had not yet reported to the military authorities. In this respect, the current situation has really changed for the better.<\/p>\n

Today, in certain cases, it is possible to approach the authorities and handle the issue before reporting for service and arranging legal status. As we have stated above, the crucial point here is that it is necessary to be proactive and deal with this issue so as to avoid having to contend with the potentially severe implications of draft evasion. It is essential to act in an orderly manner, based on understanding of the law and the legal status applying to you. If you are not sure of these issues and the potential options available to you, it is highly recommended to consult with an experienced attorney who specializes in the finer points of military law.<\/p>\n
