Haredi anti-draft march in Bnei Brak doubled as launch event for a protest political party - report
"In Netanyahu's Government of Evasion, the deserters are the heroes," Gadi Eisenkot claimed, dubbing the march "Netanyahu's walk of shame."
Assessment
The Bnei Brak march is no longer just street protest; it is now a political vehicle. Gadi Eisenkot's jab at Netanyahu reframes the draft debate as a national loyalty issue, not a religious one. Watch whether this party gains traction with secular voters angry over coalition concessions. The march's dual purpose signals that haredi leaders intend to fight exemptions through elections, not just demonstrations.
