Mothers call for equality in IDF draft at induction center protest
Mothers lead a protest calling for all sectors of society to be recruited into the army, outside the IDF recruitment center in Tel Hashomer on June 16, 2024 (Ronit Ben David via the pro-democracy protest movement)
A group of mothers protest at the military induction center in Ramat Gan, calling for the burden of service to be shared equally across society.
The women hold signs declaring “recruitment for everyone” and “there’s no difference between blood and blood.”
The protest comes with the cabinet set today to discuss extending an emergency measure raising the retirement age for IDF reservists, just days after the coalition voted to apply “continuity” to a bill from the previous Knesset lowering the age of exemption from mandatory service for Haredi yeshiva students.
