An associate of Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman MK Yuli Edelstein responded to accusations from within the coalition regarding the draft law crisis, saying "he has been following the same path for a year and a half, we haven't changed anything in the law's principles." According to the source, "Edelstein is determined to pass a law that meets security needs. What's happening now is an attempt to create loopholes in our law, which actually leads to enlistment. Edelstein's law is logical, effective and fair."
