MK Naama Tur-Paz (The Democrats) proposed a new name for the coalition bill that would freeze arrests of yeshiva students evading military service, according to a post on her social media. "What do you think will happen? Religious MKs from Religious Zionism and Likud, what do you think will happen with this law?" she wrote, suggesting the alternative title.
MK Naama Tur-Paz (The Democrats) on Tuesday morning proposed a new, derisive name for the coalition bill that would freeze arrests of yeshiva students who evade military service. In a social media post, she addressed Religious Zionism and Likud MKs directly: "What do you think will happen? Religious MKs from Religious Zionism and Likud, what do you think will happen with this law?" She then suggested the alternative title. The bill, which has drawn sharp opposition from secular and centrist parties, would halt enforcement of conscription orders against yeshiva students during the legislative process. As The Zioneer reported Monday evening, opposition party leaders issued a rare joint statement opposing the legislation. Tur-Paz's proposal is the latest rhetorical move in the ongoing political battle over the bill, which critics say undermines the principle of equal military service.
