Fighters' demand from their colleagues in the Knesset: "Form a Zionist unity government"

The Coalition of Serving Organizations has turned to MK Elissaf Peretz and other Knesset members serving in the reserves, calling for the establishment of a cross-faction Zionist unity government to address the severe shortage of manpower in the IDF and to prevent the exemption from military service law for Haredim.

The Coalition of Serving Organizations approached MK Elissaf Peretz from the Yashar faction and other reserve-serving Knesset members this morning (Tuesday), calling for the establishment of a cross-faction Zionist unity government. The appeal stated: "Just as we operated together in the tank, it is time to act in the Knesset as well." The organizations emphasize that reserve service was a decisive factor in the election of these MKs, and now they are required to act for the benefit of those serving. The letter clarifies that beyond the social importance, this is an existential need for the IDF, due to the severe manpower shortage and attrition. Yoav Heller, chairman of the Fourth Quarter movement, called on former prime ministers Eisenkot and Netanyahu to safeguard the interests of reservists and form a national-Zionist unity government. Reserve Sergeant Major Nir Yishachar, who served 450 reserve days, expressed hope to see his fellow reservists bring the spirit of the field to the Knesset. The organizations concluded with a call for immediate action in light of the security challenges.
