Liberman vows to help ultra-Orthodox soldiers libeled for IDF service
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman vows to protect ultra-Orthodox soldiers facing backlash from their communities over their service in the IDF.
“It’s unthinkable that an IDF officer who served his country would have to suffer such indignities,” Liberman says following a court verdict granting NIS 500,000 to an ultra-Orthodox soldier who was libeled for choosing to serve in the military.
“The security establishment will assist any soldier or officer who suffers being libeled over their army service,” he says.
