פנייה לרמטכ"ל: לגייס 3,500 צעירים בעלי מעמד ארעי - "מבקשים ללבוש מדים"

הערכה

A call to enlist 3,500 young people with temporary status into the IDF has been directed at the Chief of Staff, with the Immigration Committee chair arguing they should not be left out if the military needs personnel. Shas opposes the move, warning that after three years of service it would be difficult to deny them citizenship. The debate highlights a tension between military manpower needs and political resistance to expanding pathways to citizenship for non-citizen residents.
