Opposition Leader Yair Lapid slams the Knesset’s vote to renew a 2022 bill lowering the ultra-Orthodox age of exemption for military service, calling it “one of the most despicable moments of humiliation of the Israeli Knesset ever.”
“In the midst of another day of hard fighting in the Gaza Strip, the reckless government passes a law of evasion and insubordination. It’s all politics. Zero values,” Lapid says in a statement.
