The initiator of Knesset lawmaker Ayman Odeh's removal proceedings, member of Knesset Avichai Boaron (Likud), addressed United Torah Judaism's decision not to vote with the coalition, saying that "the party leaders are acting irresponsibly. We must not connect the national need to remove an Israel-hater and terrorism supporter from the Knesset with the need to legislate the draft law. United Torah Judaism is detaching itself from the national camp and harming IDF soldiers, bereaved families, and the hostages and their families. If you're not with us in the vote to remove Odeh, don't be surprised when we're not with you in the vote on the draft."
