Naftali Bennett, chairman of the Yachad party, unveiled a proposal called the "Servicemembers' Revolution," aiming to redirect state funds from those who evade military service to those who serve. Bennett stated that for 17 years, Benjamin Netanyahu has allegedly funded draft evasion in exchange for political power, thereby weakening the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). He claimed the IDF Chief of Staff has raised numerous red flags regarding this issue. Bennett's plan involves reallocating 30 billion shekels from individuals deemed draft dodgers to those serving the country. "Anyone who does not serve the country will not receive a shekel from the country," Bennett declared, advocating for zero exemptions from military service, as opposed to current partial exemptions of 50% or 30%.
