Former Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Yuli Edelstein, has voiced strong criticism of the coalition's proposed Draft Law. In a recent interview, Edelstein argued that the legislation does not address the military's pressing shortage of combat and support soldiers. He accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of failing to fully commit to advancing the law, suggesting that Netanyahu has not demonstrated the same level of effort as he has for other important issues. Edelstein also condemned the last-minute addition of new clauses, claiming they were introduced to manufacture disputes and present political compromises as achievements. He described the law as promoting evasion rather than genuine enlistment.
