If true, Netanyahu is sending other people's children to war while keeping his, away While both sons served in the mandatory military service, Yair 33 and Avner 30 it seems, no active combat duty, in the current Gaza war of 18 months
The Jerusalem Post April 14, 2025 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday backed dismissing the active reservists, claiming that they were refusing to serve.
“Refusal to serve is refusal to serve, even if it’s only hinted at in whitewashed language. Statements that weaken the IDF and strengthen our enemies in a time of war are unforgivable.”
He also called the signatories “a group of fringe extremists who are trying once again to break Israeli society from within,” and tied the pre-October 7 protests against the judicial overhaul as a sign of perceived weakness by the military that led to the Hamas massacre.
That theory remains unsubstantiated, since Netanyahu continues to refuse a state inquiry into the events leading up to October 7.
