Netizens are abuzz following the words of Israel's chief rabbi, Yitzhak Yosef, about recruiting ultra-Orthodox to the IDF. "Your idleness is your art", "Who exactly will accept you abroad?", "Only in the business department" - these are just some of the reactions.

Some called for the rabbi to be fired: "Fly abroad, and there you will argue knowing that yeshiva students finance themselves," wrote journalist Yair Navot on his X account.
