Likud MK Moshe Saada told ynet that the draft exemption law "is the beginning of a path, but it has no good news for combat soldiers. There is a shortage of 7,000 combat soldiers and the recruitment target in this law is zero. We don't need staff personnel, but combat soldiers. There is a missing value statement: 'If you didn't serve - you don't receive.' There is no prioritization of those who serve versus those who don't."
