Cornerstone of Israeli society Military service in IDF

Military service is a cornerstone of Israeli society, but unique circumstances can create significant challenges for individuals in fulfilling their obligations. Whether you’re a new immigrant, a returning resident, or an Israeli citizen living abroad, unresolved military status with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) can lead to legal complications and personal hardships.

Understanding the Legal Obligation to Serve in the IDF

The obligation to serve in the IDF applies to all Israeli citizens and permanent residents, regardless of their country of residence or additional citizenship. This includes individuals born outside Israel or those living permanently abroad.

Failure to fulfill military obligations is considered a criminal offense. The longer the period of absence or evasion, the more severe the consequences. Resolving military status proactively is crucial to avoiding legal penalties and protecting your future opportunities in Israel.

Case Study: Resolving Military Status Without Returning to Israel

A recent example highlights the success of our services:

The Situation:
Our client, a 30-year-old living in Belarus, born in Belarus and immigrated to Israel at the age of 9. He received Israeli citizenship, lived for a few years in Israel till his parents got divorced.  After the divorce he left the country with his mother at the age 15.

He got back and visited his father in Israel few times during his visit he attended "zav rishon" and every time got back to Belarus. He got summoned to serve in the army, although he actually didn't live in Israel. He didn't come to the drafting date failing to fulfill his military obligations. Declared AWOL, an arrest warrant was issued against him.

The Challenge:
The IDF refused his initial requests to resolve his military status through consular channels, demanding his return to Israel and a court-martial.

Our Solution:
We submitted a formal request to the IDF on his behalf, presenting compelling legal arguments and documentation. As a result:

• He received a full exemption from military service.
• He avoided arrest, prosecution, and penalties.
• He retained his clean criminal record.
• He regained the freedom to visit and leave Israel without restrictions.

This case demonstrates the importance of professional legal representation when dealing with complex military status issues.
