During a heated discussion on a new agenda item in the Security Service Law, the Knesset Committee broke into shouting as MK Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu) accused MK Moshe Goldknopf (United Torah Judaism) of discriminating between the blood of children, according to reports from the Knesset.
The Knesset Committee descended into a shouting match during a discussion on a new agenda item in the Security Service Law. MK Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu) accused MK Moshe Goldknopf (United Torah Judaism) of discriminating between the blood of children, shouting, 'Your children's blood is no redder than my children's blood.' The exchange reflects deep divisions over the conscription law, which has been a source of tension between secular and ultra-Orthodox lawmakers. Similar scenes were reported earlier this week in the Finance Committee, as The Zioneer reported on June 9, over funding for daycare for yeshiva students who do not serve in the IDF.
