Gantz: IDF must draft ultra-Orthodox, Arabs 'in the long term'

The IDF must expand its pool of servicemembers to include ultra-Orthodox and Arab Israeli citizens, war cabinet Minister Benny Gantz said on Thursday afternoon.

Gantz added that, "in the long term," a service bill must be gradually implemented so that the Arab and haredi sector could "enter the circle of service," vowing to work for a "broad agreement."
