Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Boaz Bismuth refused to allow a representative of "Brothers in Arms" to speak at the committee for a second time. Activist Omri Ronen expressed anger and said: "I fought on October 7, served many days in the reserves while Haredi representatives who evade service are allowed to speak in the committee." MK Bismuth responded: "I will not permit refusal to serve in this country. You encouraged refusal." Subsequently, MK Bismuth terminated the discussion.
