There have been reports recently of the Vaad Hayeshivos of Eretz Yisroel being in Collaboration with the Israeli Government in order to maximize drafts of Yeshiva students.
The Vaad Hayeshivos was originally formed at the beginning of the state, especially to help Yeshiva students get their deferment or exemption from serving in the IDF. Historically, they have been instrumental in helping secure deferments and exemptions. Their many Askonim (helpers/activists) were the first ones that was called when someone ran into a problem.
Recently, there have been a great many claims proving corruption and collaboration there. Instead of helping, it seems like some of the Askonim are intentionally trying to cause that the deferment applications should be rejected. This development is not especially surprising, as it is well known how the Government pays extremely well to undercover agents like these. A pamphlet was published about a year ago, exposing a great number of undercover Chareidi Government agents who are paid handsomely per head they succeed in drafting.
It is not clear if the whole organization has taken the plunge, or if it is simply some individual Askonim. Either way, this is a very serious matter. Some have even gone as far as to call the Vaad Hayeshivos office "The new Draft office".
