Opposition MK Inbar Bezalel (Democrats), who is currently running in the party's primaries for the next elections, posted draft orders on the doors of Knesset offices belonging to several ultra-Orthodox lawmakers who did not serve in the IDF, according to a report by journalist Yaakov Hershkovitz. The act appears to be a protest against the ongoing exemption of ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students from mandatory military service, a deeply divisive political and social issue in Israel. No immediate response from the targeted MKs has been reported. The incident underscores the intensity of the debate ahead of the Democratic primary race, where Bezalel has taken a strong stance on equal military service. No prior Zioneer reporting on this specific action was identified.
