Bennett Accuses Netanyahu of Mass Draft Evasion Threatening IDF Collapse
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is actively promoting widespread draft evasion, which he warned could lead to the collapse of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Speaking in Tel Aviv, Bennett asserted that Netanyahu is "dismantling the IDF" through his policies regarding military conscription.
Bennett stated that his interactions with soldiers and officers on the ground reveal a critical shortage of combat personnel. He further alleged that this deficit is already resulting in the loss of soldiers' lives, though the article does not provide specific details or evidence for this claim.
The former premier's remarks highlight a significant political and security debate surrounding military service, particularly concerning exemptions and the burden on active combat units.
