Opposition MK Avigdor Liberman denounced a rally in Beni Brak on Tuesday as a 'national disgrace' and a direct result of what he called a 'government of draft-dodgers,' i24NEWS reports.
Avigdor Liberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, responded Tuesday morning to the mass rally held overnight in Beni Brak, calling it 'a national disgrace and a direct result of the government of draft-dodgers.' The statement, reported by i24NEWS, comes amid heated debate over proposed exemptions from mandatory IDF service for ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students — a core issue in coalition negotiations. Liberman has been a vocal critic of the current government's handling of the conscription law. No other officials have commented on the rally at this time.
