Haaretz newspaper reported that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has extended the postponement of reserve service discharge in the army by three months. This information was provided by Cairo News Channel in a breaking news report.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid called on Sunday for the “State Camp” party, led by Benny Gantz, to leave Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. According to Sky News, the Israeli opposition leader described Netanyahu’s government as a “crazy government.”
The political landscape has been further complicated by disputes over military conscription, particularly regarding exemptions for Haredi Orthodox Jews, a long-standing contentious issue in Israeli politics
The decision by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to extend the postponement of army reserve service discharge by three months has sparked significant controversy and political tension. This extension is largely seen as a response to ongoing security challenges, particularly the heightened military activity in Gaza and potential threats from Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Furthermore, recent judicial reforms proposed by Netanyahu’s government have led to widespread protests and refusals to serve among some military reservists, including elite combat pilots. These protests are rooted in concerns that the reforms would undermine the independence of the judiciary and erode democratic principles in Israel.
