Knesset speaker warns of ‘civil war’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKnesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein expresses concern that the conscription bill will cause divisiveness, or even a “civil war.”
“The present situation is that there is record tension between the segments of society and I am concerned for the unity of the nation,” Edelstein tells officials in the Knesset.
“The purpose of the bill is to bring — rightfully — equality, but if the result is a civil war, we will not achieve anything. I hope the demonstrating public will keep the peace and that the rally will end without casualties and without incitement.”
