Moshe Feiglin outlines controversial defense and draft reforms
In a recent media interview, Zehut party leader Moshe Feiglin presented a comprehensive platform addressing military service for ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students, state funding for religious institutions, and educational vouchers. Feiglin argued that current political discourse weaponizes the draft issue for partisan gain. His proposal includes a one-month military training program conducted directly inside yeshiva facilities during the summer break, alongside a transition toward a professional volunteer army model. Furthermore, Feiglin suggested shifting funding for Torah study away from direct government budgets toward a localized property tax voucher system inspired by American models.
