The draft, should it pass, would extend the exemption from IDF conscription for haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jews.

Netanyahu said the international community was "trying to stop the war before all its goals are achieved."

From the Likud’s perspective, the move was a positive development, as it weakened both Gantz’s and Ben-Gvir’s leverage over Netanyahu.

Yair Lapid: Schumer's speech "is proof that, one by one, Netanyahu is losing the staunchest supporters of Israel."

Israelis are mature and intelligent enough to know what is good for their country and do not need America’s help in choosing leaders. Likewise, the American people do not require input from Israel.

Yair Lapid lambasted the chief rabbi’s remarks on Sunday, stating, “Rabbi Yosef's words are an insult and disgrace to the IDF soldiers who risk their lives to defend the country."

Halevi said that broadening the sectors of Israel's population that serve in the IDF and national service is the only way to replace the many Israeli soldiers who have died in the current war.

"The Movement again criticizes the committee's decision not to recommend disciplinary or other measures against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a number of other senior figures," MQG stated.

The US administration wishes to drive a wedge between the government and Israeli society using Gantz, says Smotrich. Knesset discusses the issue of the haredi IDF draft on Monday.

Former prime minister, Ehud Barak, explains Netanyahu's failures since the beginning of the war and calls both the voters and Lapid, Gantz, and Eisenkot to call for early elections.
