This may end up costing Yair Lapid votes on election day. Lapid has no real policies other than haredi bashing and forced enlistment was one of his main policies but if this can pass before the election Lapid can't campaign on this issue anymore and its an issue thats very close to the hearts of the secular left who are some of his target voters.
