Bennett: Only 1,800 yeshiva students will receive exemption
None
Economy and Trade Minster Naftali Bennett commented on the issue of equal share of the burden and said: "Only 1,800 of the students who will continue to study Torah will receive state stipends. The rest, if they want to continue studying, will first go to the army or civil service and then are free to choose what they would like to do with the rest of their lives." (Aviel Mengazi)
