MK Heskel: Haredi draft exemption bill is bad for Israeli security and society

from Kan English · host כאן | Kan

The PMO  have informed the Haredi parties that the IDF draft bill will be returned  to the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee as the Likud  continue efforts to pass a bill that would exempt Haredi yeshiva students from military service. Despite the move, Rabbi Dov Lando, leader of the ultra-Orthodox Lithuanian community, instructed the Degel HaTorah faction to support the Knesset dissolution bill this Wednesday. Some Likud Knesset members are opposed to the proposed draft bill  and say they will vote against. One of them is deputy foreign minister Knesset member Sharren Heskel, who spoke with KAN's Mark Weiss. (Photo:Flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
