The Knesset approved a bill freezing arrests of Haredi draft evaders on Tuesday, drawing sharp condemnation from former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who called it 'a low point and anti-Zionist,' and from Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman, who warned it would lead to a greater disaster. Likud MK Dan Iluz, who voted against the bill, called it 'a spit in the face,' according to N12.
The Knesset approved a bill freezing arrests of Haredi draft evaders on Tuesday, according to N12. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called the legislation 'a low point and anti-Zionist.' Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman warned that the law represents the same conduct that led to the October 7 massacre and, if not repealed, would lead to an even greater disaster. Likud MK Dan Iluz, who voted against the bill, described it as 'a spit in the face.'
