President Isaac Herzog told representatives of United Torah Judaism during consultations on which candidate to task with forming the government that the debate revolves around 'we will die and not enlist.' He added: 'This is a very profound issue. Masses of the House of Israel donned uniforms and went to war – what do you say about it?' Knesset member Yitzhak Goldknopf responded: 'That is a phrase we did not say. We say that the Torah sustains us and lengthens our days.'
