Smotrich Denies IDF Strain Due to Ultra-Orthodox Draft Exemptions

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called "a complete lie" the assertion that IDF soldiers are strained due to ultra-Orthodox draft exemptions, claiming equipment shortages are the real issue. The IDF has warned of significant manpower shortages, partly due to these exemptions, with a gap expected to widen in 2027. Smotrich's comments coincide with tensions over Haredi enlistment and the emergence of a new party advocating for it, which has faced vandalism of its campaign materials.
