Liberman slams enlistment bill as ‘absurd,’ says his party will vote against it

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman slams a bill exempting ultra-Orthodox students from military service and says his Yisrael Beytenu party will vote against it.

“The legislation as presented is what is called a classic ‘fake law,'” Liberman says at the Yisrael Beytenu faction meeting.

“To expect that Yisrael Beytenu will support this legislation is absurd. This is one big theater of the absurd. We’ll vote against the enlistment law,” he adds.
