Hillel Bitton Rosen, a senior Israeli commentator, said Monday evening that the IDF and Defense Ministry are not doing enough to distribute the burden on reserve servicemen, and instead claim the overload is due to the ultra-Orthodox, according to his social media post.
The remarks by Hillel Bitton Rosen come amid an ongoing public debate over the burden on IDF reserve soldiers, which has intensified during the current war. Rosen, who has previously criticized the military's rules of engagement and the censor's handling of Channel 14, now directs his criticism at the army and Defense Ministry for failing to address the strain on reservists and instead attributing the overload to the Haredi community. The post did not specify a concrete policy proposal.
