Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman on Sunday denigrated Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's call for universal draft as "cheap populism."
Litzman pointed out that the issue of exempting Ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students from military service was part of the binding coalition agreement and stressed that the Ultra-Orthodox parliamentarians would "not give up on yeshiva students' legal status, the principle being that anyone desiring to study Torah should be allowed to."
