The Attorney General and Military Advocate General issued a further statement opposing the proposed arrest bill, warning it would create an incentive to avoid military service by granting immunity from prosecution. The statement was reported by Nir Dvori (N12).
The Attorney General and Military Advocate General have reiterated their opposition to the proposed arrest bill, which they argue would effectively bypass the conscription law. In a new statement reported by Nir Dvori (N12), the two officials emphasized that the bill would not only fail to increase IDF manpower in the immediate term, but would actually incentivize draft evasion by granting immunity from prosecution. The Zioneer previously reported that the AG and MAG jointly opposed the bill, arguing it creates a bypass track around the conscription law and legitimizes draft evasion. The current statement adds a specific warning about the incentive structure. The bill remains under discussion in the Knesset as part of broader efforts to address the ultra-Orthodox draft crisis.
