Aviad Glickman, a legal affairs correspondent for Channel 13 News, has sharply criticized the Israeli government's policy regarding the military draft, particularly concerning the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community. His comments came in response to the controversy surrounding the arrest of a draft-evading yeshiva student in Modi'in Illit.
Glickman argued in a social media post that the current right-wing government desires to exempt Haredim from military service. He stated that for three years, the government has increased the burden on reservists while exempting an entire sector from conscription. He further asserted that voting for parties in the current right-wing government is equivalent to supporting draft evasion.
He expressed gratitude for the Attorney General and Supreme Court justices who are attempting to create some measure of equality through sanctions. Glickman also referenced a previous statement where he condemned what he termed 'Jewish terrorism' by Jewish 'terrorists' in the West Bank, criticizing the Prime Minister and questioning the silence of right-wing commentators on the issue, whom he accused of normalizing such actions by 'hilltop youth'.
