Chief Rabbi of Israel Yitzhak Yosef: If they force us to go to the army, we will all go abroad. Rabbi Yosef is a judge in the Great Rabbinical Court - the equivalent of the Supreme Court of the Rabbinical Courts.

The civil service regulations do not apply to the chief rabbis, but since both of them serve as judges, the person authorized to receive complaints about them is the ombudsman for judges and judges. Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef has to retire from his position at the end of the year, so it seems this statement will go away without him being brought to disciplinary proceedings.
