Opposition leader Avigdor Liberman has proposed reviving a 2018 conscription bill as an alternative to Netanyahu’s enlistment legislation, but critics argue his proposal is significantly weaker. The 2018 bill, drafted before October 7, lacks personal sanctions for draft evaders and sets lower recruitment targets than the government’s current proposals. The move comes as the coalition continues to debate military service requirements for ultra-Orthodox Israelis.
