Aryeh Deri, chairman of the Shas party, has strongly criticized Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's proposal to prevent individuals who have not served in the military from serving in the Security Cabinet. Deri stated that Shas represents hundreds of thousands of voters, including soldiers and reservists who fought and died in Israel's wars. He reminded Bennett that he previously led a cabinet that included members of an Islamic party whose members did not serve in the IDF and do not condemn Hamas atrocities, questioning Bennett's authority to preach about draft-dodging. Deri accused Bennett of trying to incite against the Haredi public after being distanced from the right-wing, asserting that unlike members of Ra'am, he himself served in the army. Deri concluded by stating that in the next government, a law will be advanced to prevent politicians elected with only six mandates from running for prime minister against the will of their voters.
