Izankot Party Plans Economic Measures Against Ultra-Orthodox Draft Dodgers
Inbar Harush Giti, representing the "Yashar" party led by Gadi Eisenkot, outlined a proposed economic plan aimed at differentiating between those who serve in the military and those who do not. Speaking to Channel 13 News, Giti detailed a package of measures designed to significantly penalize draft dodgers while offering substantial rewards to those who enlist.
A central component of the plan involves revoking the exemption from purchase tax on a first apartment for ultra-Orthodox draft dodgers, an benefit valued at hundreds of thousands of shekels per person. The proposal also includes cuts to subsidized daycare, property tax (Arnona) discounts, and National Insurance benefits.
Giti emphasized that the initiative seeks to ensure that individuals who do not enlist will face considerable financial losses. Conversely, citizens who fulfill their service obligations will receive a range of extensive benefits from the state. The party's goal is to create a clear distinction and incentivize military service within the ultra-Orthodox community.
