No Longer a Clash with Generals: Israel Katz Endangers Israel's Security | Attorney Uriel Lynn

Attorney Uriel Lynn attacks Defense Minister Israel Katz, claiming he endangers Israel's security by supporting draft-dodging laws for the ultra-Orthodox, ousting Edelstein, and behaving autocratically toward the IDF. Lynn warns that Likud will pay a heavy price in the elections.

In an opinion piece in Maariv, Attorney Uriel Lynn sharply attacks Defense Minister Israel Katz, claiming he endangers Israel's security. Lynn accuses Katz of supporting laws aimed at ensuring ultra-Orthodox exemption from military service, including the Basic Law: Torah Study and the arrest law, and of cooperating in the ousting of Yuli Edelstein from his position as chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. It is also claimed that Katz behaves autocratically toward the IDF's senior command, publicly exposes criticism, and encourages extremist elements, thereby undermining public trust in the military. Lynn notes that 80,000 ultra-Orthodox do not serve, and that Likud will pay a heavy price in the upcoming elections. The article also criticizes the phenomenon of bullying by an extreme minority among settlers, which he says inflames the region and increases terrorism.
