IDF Reservists to Boycott Service from Sunday

Hundreds of elite IDF reservists, including officers and soldiers in the Military Intelligence’s Special Operations Division and cyber warfare units, have announced that they will stop showing up for volunteer service as of next week in response to the government’s plans to radically alter the judicial system. The government’s plans to hold the final Knesset votes Sunday on legislation that would severely limit courts or lawmakers from removing an unfit prime minister from office has sparked protests among IDF reservists, with calls to refuse to serve growing in number.
