Member of Knesset Aliza Lavie (Yesh Atid) has asked the cabinet secretary to find a budget source that would enable the Native conversion program for Israeli soldiers to continue.following the announcement that it's being discountinued.
Lavie said, "In a faltering conversion system, Nativ is a bright spot that succeeds in makes the preparation and training for this complex process accessible and gets [people] close to the process." She also said, "Canceling the conversion program will severely harm a large public of students and soldiers in the midst of the process, future candidates for conversion, and in fact, in the conversion system in Israel as a whole. Conversion is a national social issue of the highest order that will affect the image and future of Israeli society. This system must be expanded, not closed."
