MK Moshe Solomon (Religious Zionism) said he voted against the revised Basic Law: Torah Study because Torah study, while foundational, cannot be used as a tool to prevent sanctions on those who do not serve in the military. He said his faction and coalition colleagues attacked him publicly, but he maintained his position, according to N12.
MK Moshe Solomon (Religious Zionism) elaborated on his vote against the coalition's revised Basic Law: Torah Study, saying that Torah study is the foundation of the state but cannot be used to prevent sanctions on those who do not serve. He noted that his faction and coalition colleagues attacked him publicly, but he maintained his position.
The Basic Law: Torah Study has been a flashpoint within the coalition, drawing criticism from MKs across parties. As The Zioneer has reported, MK Dan Illouz (Likud) called the bill "a spit in the face of the serving public," and MK Yuli Edelstein (National Unity) also voted against it. Solomon's vote places him at odds with his own Religious Zionism party leadership, which supported the legislation.
