Yishai Cohen, a reporter and commentator for Kikar HaShabbat, explained the significant implications of Avigdor Lieberman's recent dramatic policy shift regarding the draft of ultra-Orthodox men into the military. Cohen stated in an interview with N12 that Lieberman's move effectively legitimizes a previously ostracized segment of society, marking a significant victory for the ultra-Orthodox community.
For a decade, the ultra-Orthodox community, particularly concerning military service, was considered unacceptable or taboo. Lieberman's change of heart, as described by Cohen, has 'made the forbidden permissible,' signaling a major shift in political and social attitudes. Cohen asserts that the ultra-Orthodox have already achieved their objective in this matter.
