"Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef's Warning: Ultra-Orthodox Exodus Threatens Israel"
TL;DR
Israeli leaders, including Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz, criticize Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef's threat that ultra-Orthodox Jews will leave Israel if a compulsory draft is enacted, calling it an insult to IDF soldiers and a moral affront to the state. Avigdor Liberman also opposes the rabbi's declaration, while the Shas Party defends Yosef's remarks and Otzma Yehudit advocates for understanding and love in recruitment.
