MK Matan Tropper (Zionist-Reservists) criticized the government for approving 240,000 reserve call-up orders while also supporting laws that facilitate draft evasion, according to N12. 'Amazing how easily a government that authorizes evasion authorizes reserve recruitment,' he said.
MK Matan Tropper (Zionist-Reservists), chairman of the Reserve Soldiers party, responded to the government's approval of 240,000 reserve call-up orders with sharp criticism. The Zioneer reported earlier today that the government extended the emergency reserve call-up (Tzav 8) through September 30, setting a maximum quota of 240,000 reservists. Tropper noted that the same ministers who supported legislation seen as enabling draft evasion voted to authorize the large-scale mobilization. The remarks come amid a broader debate over military service evasion, with the IDF's manpower chief warning last month that the military is approaching 90,000 draft dodgers, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
