A delegation of rabbis affiliated with Agudath Israel of America met with Israel's Ambassador to the US Michael Oren yesterday to pressure Israel to stop the military draft of haredi yeshiva students.

I'm told that among the rabbis who were there were Aharon Kotler of Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, New Jersey and Ner Israel’s rosh yeshiva Aharon Feldman.
After almost two hours of waiting for confirmation or denial, Israel's embassy told me it would get back to me whenever it could determine whether the my information about the meeting was or was not true.
Agudath Israel of America was contacted much later in that process. It has not yet responded to my email asking for confirmation or denial of the meeting.
If either the Israeli embassy or Agudath Israel of America answers my questions, I'll update this post.
