'Prime Minister must condemn Rabbi Lando's call for haredi insubordination,' Yair Lapid posts

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday morning, criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and "his ministers," for not condemning Rabbi Dov Lando's controversial comment telling haredi yeshiva students not to answer draft calls.

In his post, Lapid begins "Where are all the ministers and Knesset Members who screamed and yelled against the calls for insubordination (that never were or existed.)"

He then states that Rabbi Lando demand of yeshiva students is "the most clear call for insubordination that was ever voiced here. The Prime Minister and his ministers must condemn [the call] in a clear way, otherwise, it is an abandonment of the soldiers and another betrayal of the values of the IDF and the state."
