- Bennett proposed a law to ban draft dodgers from cabinet positions.
- Shas MK Malchieli proposed a counter-law targeting "political swindlers."
- Malchieli's proposed law targets leaders who took power with minimal support.
- Bennett made his announcement at an international counter-terrorism conference.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced that he intends to legislate a "Der'i Law" that would prevent individuals who evaded or encouraged evasion of IDF service from serving in the cabinet. Bennett made the declaration at the Reichman University International Counter-Terrorism Conference, stating that this would be a fundamental condition for him in forming the next government.
In response, Knesset Member Michael Malchieli of the Shas party sharply criticized Bennett, proposing a "Bennett Law." Malchieli stated that in the next government, Shas would legislate a law to prevent "a political swindler who stole the premiership with six mandates, against the will of his voters, from running for the Knesset again."
Bennett's proposed law targets individuals who have not served in the military or who actively promote draft evasion. Malchieli's counter-proposal appears to be a direct response to Bennett's political maneuvering and perceived lack of broad electoral support.
