Commentator Dafrin said in an interview on the All in program Thursday that the IDF Chief of Staff's letter warning about the conscription law is 'professional and matter-of-fact,' but the law itself is 'problematic and not ethical' because it will not bring soldiers to the IDF and undermines equality, according to Nir Dvori (N12).
Commentator Dafrin elaborated on his support for the IDF Chief of Staff's position in an interview on the All in program Thursday evening, calling the Chief of Staff's letter 'professional and matter-of-fact' and warning that the proposed conscription law is 'problematic and not ethical.' The interview, reported by Nir Dvori (N12), adds Dafrin's direct quote to the public debate over the conscription law.
As The Zioneer reported at 18:05, Dafrin had earlier stated that the Chief of Staff's letter warns the law will not bring soldiers to the IDF and fails on equality and values. The new interview includes the characterization that the law is 'not ethical' (לא ערכי).
The conscription law has been a flashpoint in Israeli politics, with the Chief of Staff's letter drawing criticism from some security officials who called it a political move. The debate centers on the exemption of Haredi yeshiva students from mandatory military service and the broader issue of equality of burden.
