In an interview with Radio 103FM today (Monday), the chairman of Israel Beitenu, Avigdor Lieberman, referred to the recruitment plan promoted by the government according to which the exemption age for the ultra-Orthodox was reduced to 23 and attacked the government: "It is invalid twice. On the one hand, there is an attempt to bribe the secular public in exchange for the evasion law, and there is a second time here An attempt to replace values ​​in the budgets.



Lieberman also referred to the senior military official who said that "the IDF's position regarding the exemption age of 23 - does not break the balance, when there is recognition for the servants."

"I've never heard anything like this, that the IDF supports the evasion law, it's something that didn't happen, it's a very serious thing," Lieberman said. He also claimed that "the army should keep itself away from this debate.

As far as the army is concerned, there is one approach - equal burden for everyone - there are no more exemptions for anyone.

Everyone must mobilize - any other attempt is to return to the starting point.

We must not go back to the starting point on this issue either, this must be the most persistent struggle."



"There is no possibility of reaching an agreement with Shas and Torah Judaism regarding the recruitment.

We must go in the most massive, uncompromising way, and we must pass this law when all 18-year-olds enlist in the IDF or civil service, there are no more exemptions," claimed Lieberman.

"This is only possible on the condition that you establish a Zionist coalition without Shas and Torah Judaism.

Anyone who sells Lokesh and says he knows how to pass the law when Shas and Torah Judaism are part of the coalition. This is simply an illusion," he resented.

According to the new conscription outline, discussed last night by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galant, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Liaison Minister Dodi Amsalem and Coalition Chairman Ofir Katz, the exemption age for IDF conscription dropped from 26 for a significantly younger age - 23 or 21, so that the ultra-orthodox who do not enlist can integrate into the employment market at an earlier age.



At the same time, billions of shekels will be added to soldiers in regular service and reserves.

The proposal is also expected to include recruitment targets for the ultra-Orthodox in the IDF, but at the request of the ultra-Orthodox, these will be set in a government decision, so that they can be reduced in a new decision if they do not meet the targets at the end of each period. Front-line soldiers who do not have unique positions, as well as increasing the salary of all those serving in the IDF or those who will serve more according to their wishes.

The former finance minister also responded to the announcement by the credit rating agency Moody's about lowering Israel's credit rating forecast from 'positive' to 'stable': "When the finance minister and the prime minister say that Moody's doesn't understand the Israeli economy, and they do, it's more disturbing. The people These are disconnected, they don't know how to read documents."



Lieberman also referred to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response to lowering the credit forecast and attacked him.

"He understands that they are right, this is simply a hysterical person. When the Prime Minister picks up the phone to the heads of Moody's, it is an unprecedented thing, a political intervention. Netanyahu understands the importance of the opinions from credit rating agencies. He is simply lying one more time, otherwise he would not have picked up phone," he said.
