MK Dan Illouz, who left the Likud in protest over the draft bill proposed by MK Boaz Bismuth and joined Yisrael Beiteinu, announced today that he is now leaving Liberman's party as well, following Liberman's statement that he would work to form a government with the chareidi parties.
In his statement, Illouz wrote: "We cannot give up on the draft law. This is not just a matter of values, it is an existential need. Reservists are doing hundreds of days of reserve duty. The army is crying out for fighters. The economy cannot carry this. The security challenges facing us are enormous. And all this before we even talk about core curriculum studies and integration into the economy."
"I understand the desire to prevent another election. But the price cannot be an exemption law. This is an explicit promise we made to the voter before the elections. That is the reason I moved from Likud to Yisrael Beiteinu," he continued.
