MK Gilad Kariv (Labor) called on Defense Minister Israel Katz to revoke official recognition of Hesder yeshivas that maintain their refusal to allow students to serve in the IDF Armored Corps, according to a post by journalist Eli Hirshman on Channel 12's chat.
MK Gilad Kariv (Labor) called on Defense Minister Israel Katz to revoke the state's official recognition of any Hesder yeshiva that does not rescind its refusal to let students serve in the Armored Corps, as reported by journalist Eli Hirshman on Channel 12. The demand escalates an ongoing political-military dispute over Hesder service tracks. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi was already reviewing the policy barring Hesder students from the Armored Corps amid pressure from yeshiva heads — — who in a separate letter opposed integrating women into the corps. Kariv's proposal appears to invert the debate, threatening institutional standing rather than seeking dialogue.
