Democrats party chairman MK Yair Golan directed a sarcastic remark at Shas leader Aryeh Deri on Thursday, telling him to take his grandchildren to a toy store because the enlistment order for Haredi conscription is on the way, according to N12. The quip came in response to Deri's comments on the ultra-Orthodox draft law, which has been a contentious issue in Israeli politics. Golan, a former IDF major general, has been a vocal critic of the government's handling of Haredi conscription. The Zioneer has previously reported on Golan's statements that the enlistment order would arrive on October 28, and his opposition to the freeze on arrests of draft evaders. The current exchange underscores the ongoing political battle over the issue.
