The required concessions: time to annul vows
Moti Shklar argues in an opinion piece that the emerging government, relying on Arab and Haredi parties, constitutes a breach of promises to voters of the 'Change Bloc' and harms Zionist values, especially regarding the conscription law. He asserts that integrating non-Zionist parties into leadership is a 'moral distortion' requiring a precondition of recognizing the nation-state.
Moti Shklar, a research fellow at the Hartman Institute, argues in an opinion piece that the emerging government, relying on Arab and Haredi parties, is a slap in the face to the Zionist camp. He criticizes the breach of promises to voters, particularly regarding the conscription law, and warns of eroding motivation to serve in reserves. Shklar asserts that a government dependent on factors not sharing the Israeli covenant of fate will not be able to meet security and social challenges. He demands that Arab parties disavow the position of the 'Follow-up Committee' that denies Israel as a nation-state as a condition for their integration into leadership. The article ends by asking why the issue of the conscription law, which is a necessary condition for national resilience, is being pushed to the end of the agenda.
