Opposition Leader Yair Lapid announced that if his party forms the next government, he will push for a law revoking the voting rights of ultra-Orthodox Israelis who do not serve in the military. Lapid's remarks come amid heated debate over proposed legislation to formalize draft exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox community. His comments were supported by Avigdor Liberman, who also called for restricting voting rights, but drew sharp criticism from ultra-Orthodox lawmakers and other political leaders, who argued such measures are undemocratic and likely illegal. The controversy unfolds as ultra-Orthodox parties plan a major protest against the arrest of yeshiva students evading military service, further intensifying divisions over conscription and civic obligations in Israel.
