Yuli Edelstein attacks Likud over draft legislation, plans new Zionist right-wing framework
“Hundreds of thousands of reservists who see what is happening feel as though they have been slapped in the face. It cannot be that this exacts no political price. What, is everyone blind?” he said
Assessment
A senior Likud figure is publicly breaking with his party over military conscription policy, signaling a potential realignment on the Zionist right. Edelstein's language about reservists feeling betrayed suggests the draft issue has become a political liability for the coalition. The formation of a new framework could fragment the right-wing bloc ahead of any future election.
