A political dispute has erupted between Naftali Bennett, chairman of the Yamina party, and the Shas party following Bennett's declaration that a prerequisite for his participation in the next government will be the enactment of the "Der'i Law." This proposed legislation aims to prevent individuals who have evaded military service in the IDF or encouraged others to do so from serving in the cabinet. Bennett presented this demand during the Reichman University International Counter-Terrorism Conference.
Shas responded swiftly and sharply, with Member of Knesset Michael Malchieli vowing that his party would advance a personal law targeting Bennett. "In the next government, we will legislate the 'Bennett Law': a political opportunist who stole the premiership with six mandates, against the will of his voters, will not be able to run for the Knesset again," Malchieli stated. The exchange highlights a significant political clash over eligibility for public office and military service obligations.
