@YairLapid “How will you explain that the hand that signed his call-up order - that sent him to war, that sent him to be wounded - is the same hand that signed off on freeing tens of thousands of healthy young people from serving as part of a political deal of the worst, ugliest kind?”

🧵 “Boaz, what you’ve put forth here is a disgraceful draft evasion law. A betrayal of our soldiers.”

From Opposition Leader @YairLapid’s remarks at today’s first hearing of the Foreign Affairs & Defense Committee on the government’s mass draft evasion law “A betrayal of all who’ve fought and sacrificed these last two years. Over 920 killed and 20,000 wounded physically and psychologically. Today, you’re betraying them.”
