Omri Ronen, a reserve officer, responded to Defense Minister Israel Katz's order to dismiss him from reserve duty, calling the move shameful. In a statement quoted by journalist Dafna Liel (N12), Ronen said: 'Shame has left Israel. The minister who promotes the evasion law, abandons fighters and protects deserters, is afraid we will come to replace him. We are the true servants of this country, and those who are destroying it have no right to preach to us.' The dismissal order was issued earlier Sunday.
