New quotes from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been revealed from the discussion held against the backdrop of the controversial temporary detention law. According to the quotes, Netanyahu said: "There will be no such law in the next government. After the elections, we will establish a broad national government that will immediately pass a full conscription law." These remarks come against the backdrop of Netanyahu's attempt since the Knesset was dissolved to distance himself from the Haredim, following the intense criticism the coalition received for passing laws benefiting the Haredim, including the law to stop the detention of Haredi draft dodgers and the Basic Law on Torah study. It was also reported that about two weeks ago, Netanyahu attacked the leader of the Lithuanian Jewish community, Rabbi Dov Landau, after he criticized religious soldiers, saying: "I strongly reject the shocking remarks against IDF soldiers from the Religious Zionism movement." In response, MK Chili Tropper stated: "There is no limit to cynicism. After almost three years of war, 966 IDF soldiers who fell, 24,000 wounded, hundreds of thousands of reserve orders sent, and one prime minister who repeatedly refused to pass a real conscription law and went with the Haredi parties against the army's position - he promises that this time he will really draft Haredim. You simply cannot believe him."
