Yisrael Beiteinu chairman, Knesset lawmaker Avigdor Liberman, said at the beginning of his faction meeting that "anyone who follows the events of recent days comes to one conclusion - we must put an end to the rule of the draft dodgers. On one hand, reservists sacrifice everything for Israel and on the other hand, the government sacrifices everything for draft evasion." According to him, "the next victim of the draft dodgers' government is Edelstein. When I add to that Goldknopf's statement - who said that if they try to draft yeshiva students 'the state will not rest nor be quiet' - this is the height of depravity."
