Draft orders that alarmed many young people turned out to be an Eisenkot campaign

The "Yashar" party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, distributed hundreds of thousands of letters designed as military draft orders to young voters as part of an election campaign. The letters sparked public outrage and panic among young people. The party explained that it was meant to illustrate the danger of a "government of evasion." A right-wing activist raised concerns about the political use of military databases.

The "Yashar" party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, sparked a public uproar after distributing hundreds of thousands of letters to young voters, designed as official military draft orders. The letters required recipients to report for mandatory service of four years on election day. The party explained that the move was intended to illustrate the danger of continuing the tenure of the "government of evasion." At the bottom of the letter, in small print, it read: "This is not real yet, but there is hope on the other side." Right-wing activist Yigal Malka criticized the move and asked who provided the party with the details of draft registrants and soldiers, hinting at the political use of military databases. The campaign comes amid a News 14 poll in which Eisenkot rises by two seats to 22, while Likud remains at 29.
