Democrats party chairman Yair Golan condemned the Knesset's approval of the bill to freeze arrests of Haredi draft evaders, calling it 'one of the greatest moments of disgrace' and vowing that the government that turned evasion into a policy and the abandonment of the serving public into a way of life will go home, according to journalist Dvir Gabra.
