'The rabbi is popping champagne': Haredi MK mocks officer who said 90,000 would be draft dodgers
"הרדוד פותח שמפניות": ח"כ חרדי לעג לקצין, שאמר כי 90 אלף יהיו משתמטים
Summary
An ultra-Orthodox lawmaker mocked an IDF officer who told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that 90,000 would be draft dodgers. Brigadier General Shai Teib argued that 'enforcement only against one group is impossible' and opposed freezing arrests, saying enforcement tools are part of the army's ability to fill its ranks.
