On video: Gallant's statement on the recruitment law 28.02.24/le
The heads of the ultra-Orthodox factions were outraged by Defense Minister Yoav Galant's statement that he would not promote the law that exempts yeshiva students whose "theology is their art" from enlisting in the IDF without the consent of all the parties of the emergency government, that is, with the consent of the state camp. A senior Torah Jew who spoke last night ( Wednesday) with Gallant after his statement, harshly criticized him: "We don't understand, where do you want to go like this?
for the election?
Why manage it like this in public?".
"There is a hot potato that can drag us into elections within a month," said Torah Judaism officials. "We need to get together in a room and resolve it.
When you run it in public, it's mostly a political move, and it's a shame that Gallant is doing it on the backs of the ultra-Orthodox.
We have 64 mandates, why do we even need to talk to Gantz and give him the right to veto?"

As I recall, Gallant called on Prime Minister Netanyahu in his statement last night to reach agreements with the coalition parties regarding the conscription law.
"In recent weeks, I have met with the prime minister, with the chairman of the state camp, with key figures in the coalition and the heads of the ultra-orthodox parties," Galant said. "What I told them, I will say here: it is possible and important to reach an agreed outline for the recruitment - also of a growing part of the ultra-Orthodox public. Gallant's
statement
means that he will not agree to promote a conscription law that is unacceptable to the state camp, who demand the promotion of a law outlining joint service for ultra-Orthodox and Arabs at the same time as the extension of mandatory and reserve service. However, Gantz and Eisenkot's service outline is strongly opposed by some From the ultra-orthodox factions, the issue may soon lead to a coalition crisis. "I call on the Prime Minister to lead a joint move with all coalition factions, and reach the necessary agreements on the conscription law," he said. "I hope that parts of the opposition will also join the outline that will be drawn up."
Gallant made it clear that they must to reach immediate agreements on the conscription law. "Now, in the war, when the burden on the servants increases, I say clearly: the war has proven that everyone must get under the stretcher," he said. "Carrying the burden of service together has been a national challenge for 75 years, this challenge has arrived at our doorstep at We haven't known a war like it for 75 years, so we are required to make agreements and decisions that we haven't made in 75 years."

Knesset member Amit Halevi (Likud) also referred to Galant's statement in an interview he conducted this morning on radio 103FM, saying that "Galant actually rolled the blank paper that at the time Gantz announced that he only put a signature at the end. I don't think this is the right way. It's not a matter of a player's veto One way or another, there are principles here that, in my humble opinion, should be agreed upon. The duty to serve in the army is also a first-rate religious duty, anyone who studied Torah should have known this. It is a civic duty imposed on all citizens."
"I'm not sure the solution is a veto."

MK Halevi continued and resented: "For some reason the elephant in the room called the Arab public does not come up enough in the discussions, I don't hear Lapid shouting about it.
This is also part of the matter, it does not mean that the security system can offer other routes within the framework of such and such discrepancies, but the basis is that every person is obliged to serve in the army.
What needs to be done, this agreement as I said is neither the problem nor the solution.
I remind you that when Lapid passed the conscription law, the Supreme Court canceled it.
That's why I say, I'm not sure that the solution lies in Benny Gantz's veto or Yair Lapid's pressure.
" If the way there is to dissolve the coalition - experience has proven that it is not there.
We have seen the proposals of Benny and Yair Lapid in the past, they did not lead to a better place.
We need to address the ultra-orthodox public, say the simple things, this situation certainly cannot continue, it is intolerable, neither from a religious nor from a practical point of view.
It has to change."
He also claimed that "practically, when we did pass a conscription law, the court canceled them. We already know the system, we are experts on the question of who makes the decisions in this country. It is an issue of Israeli society, the problem is a clear problem. The Knesset not only did not neglect it, it took care of it." Three times, and each time, including the time that Lapid submitted the amendment himself, each time the Supreme Court, lacking authority in my opinion, annulled the verdict. To say that the Knesset did not take care? It took care of it."
"The main thing, beyond the need that is an existential need, this need reflects a mitzvah in our tradition, which is very central, to protect the Jewish people, the sovereignty. Every ultra-Orthodox person, the more ultra-Orthodox he is, he should know this mitzvah more and serve in the army. It is possible to form a group That she has been studying Torah for years is acceptable, but not to the extent it is today," he concluded.
