War cabinet minister Gadi Eisenkot said Monday that the Knesset is focusing on a bill that circumvents military service instead of strengthening the IDF during a difficult time, according to i24NEWS.
War cabinet minister and former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot criticized the Knesset on Monday for prioritizing a bill that circumvents military conscription rather than supporting the IDF during a critical period, as reported by i24NEWS. Eisenkot's remarks come amid ongoing coalition tensions over proposed legislation to exempt yeshiva students from mandatory service—a recurring political flashpoint. The criticism echoes his earlier calls (as The Zioneer reported Sunday) for immediate Knesset dissolution, as he accused the government of avoiding national unity measures. No further context was immediately available from the single report.
