Rabbi David Stav, a prominent leader in the national-religious community, has urged the Religious Zionism party to reject the current draft law, warning that its passage would deeply insult the national-religious public. He emphasized that the law undermines the values of Torah study and military service, which the community views as complementary. Rabbi Stav cautioned that supporting the law would send a harmful educational message to students and families who have sacrificed for the country, and argued that it fails to address the need for increased enlistment. He also criticized rabbis who prioritize political concerns over fundamental values, insisting that religious leaders must act on principle rather than political expediency.
