MK Matan Kahane said today (Sunday) about the draft law regarding the conscription that it is "simply a shame and disgrace". In an interview with 103FM he said that "when we are in a time of war, reservists collapse, and they publish an outline that gives even more exemptions from conscription to the ultra-Orthodox and really there are no more words ".
"I believe that after there are elections, a government headed by Gantz will be formed and of course I invite ultra-Orthodox to join this government, but as soon as it is no longer dependent on them we will be able to pass a fair and proper law.
At the moment, they don't understand that our fighters are fighting at these very moments.
" Kahana referred to the intention to extend the regular service. "Fortunately, there are enough Knesset members in Likud who will not vote for such a delusional law," he said. "People will not be ready to automatically accept the precedents of the parties the ultra-Orthodox
I know there are enough value-minded MKs in Likud."
"The draft law is simply a shame and disgrace."

He added, "The minimum is that there should be fairness and if a person educates his children not to serve, at least you won't be able to receive money from the State of Israel. If we now pass the law proposed by the state camp, the ultra-Orthodox will join at a faster rate because we saw that following the war the sentiment of the ultra-Orthodox towards the army rose and strengthened." .
Regarding our international standing and our relations with the US, Kahana noted: "Our political situation is truly unimaginable, because it seems as if Netanyahu is making every effort to quarrel with the United States, which is very bad.
I think there were some milestones that destroyed us but in the end we are in the most just war there is." He clarified that "without Rafih we cannot end this war.
It should be seen that there are all the programs to treat the population, but it has to be done."

He addressed the question of whether the place of his party "the state camp" is still in the government.
"In the end, the question of our remaining in the government is really not easy, because we are really not satisfied with many things that are happening. On the other hand, we understand that the chance of a kidnapping deal without us is small and we have to ask ourselves every day whether it is important that we are still in the government."
