Opposition MK Yuli Edelstein said Tuesday night that the coalition voted against IDF soldiers and that two laws passed in the last 24 hours sell Israel's security on the backs of servicemen.
Yuli Edelstein, a former Knesset Speaker who left Likud earlier this month to form a new political framework, escalated his criticism of the coalition on Tuesday night. In a statement, he charged that the coalition voted against IDF soldiers and that a pair of laws passed in the last 24 hours effectively sell out Israel's security at the expense of those serving in the military. Edelstein did not specify which laws he was referring to. The statement follows a broader pattern of opposition criticism over the coalition's handling of security legislation. As The Zioneer reported, opposition leaders Lapid and Liberman have made similar accusations in recent days.
