Politicians from the "change bloc" coalition have condemned the riot by hundreds of ultra-Orthodox individuals in Modi'in overnight. The disturbance occurred after the Military Police attempted to arrest a draft dodger. Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, stated that "Netanyahu's partners are rioting again, attacking soldiers and police officers who came to arrest a draft dodger in Modi'in, and smuggling him away under the cover of a crowd shouting 'Nazis' at them and 'release the captive.'" Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of Yesh Atid, added that "this is the same dangerous worldview that seeks to make draft evasion the norm, and the one who fulfills his duty to the state a sucker."
