Roy Kunkol, until recently the spokesman of the opposition chairman and head of the "Yesh Atid" party, Yair Lapid, wrote on Twitter that he does not intend to go to the reserves anymore and caused a commotion.
Konkol wrote on his Twitter account: "I write the words with a heavy heart. I will not make reserves under a regime that tries to destroy us and I will not make reserves in an undemocratic country. After seeing the regime's message page - from Bibi and down through its trumpets, trying to blacken the pilots and my fellow reservists ".
According to him, next week he is supposed to enlist in the reserves: "After they called us anarchists and terrorists, after they dismantle the State of Israel, I have no doubt left. I have reserves next week. Yes, I also volunteer. Until today, I really didn't know what to do. I was torn between my commitment For over 20 years and the clear knowledge that I do not intend to serve a country that is not democratic."
Kunkol concluded his words and wrote: "There is no greater threat to our lives. People who have not served a day in their lives and support a government whose stated policy is to free certain sectors from military service, do not have the moral and value basis to express their opinion at all. Opposing the dictatorship is a moral duty and it is The most important reserve I can make."

The Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, tweeted in response: "I call on Lapid to condemn the refusal of his close adviser and make it clear to everyone that refusal and the politicization of the IDF have no place among us. Refusal harms the IDF and Israel's security and has no place among us."
Lapid responded to the words of his spokesman and said: "I do not agree with the decision of my former spokesman, Roy Kunkol, not to come to reserve service. The IDF is the people's army and I oppose any refusal. I will argue with him about this a lot, but I love him and know that even if he is wrong He does it out of patriotism and true fear for the fate of the country."
