Avigdor Liberman, chairman of Yisrael Beytenu, has called on opposition party leaders to sign a commitment to a new, comprehensive Draft Law ahead of the upcoming elections. In a letter sent Saturday night, Liberman outlined five key principles for the law, emphasizing equal service obligations for all Israeli citizens at age 18, with assignments to military or civilian service determined solely by the military. The proposed guidelines reject quotas and exemptions, stipulate that civilian service be managed by the Defense Ministry, and introduce strict sanctions for those who evade service, including loss of benefits and budgets. Liberman insists these principles should form the foundation of the next government's policies, aiming for full equality and responsibility in national service.
