Overview
- Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid announced he will submit legislation to deny the vote to Israelis fit for IDF service who refuse to enlist.
- He said the proposal applies only to people who receive draft notices, are medically fit, and choose not to report to induction centers.
- Lapid stated the Arab public and individuals medically or mentally unfit for service would be excluded from the measure.
- He also plans a separate bill to bar prisoners from voting in Israel.
- No bill text has been filed, and Shas and United Torah Judaism issued sharp condemnations, calling the plan discriminatory toward haredim.
