MK Ghaida Rinawie-Zoabi (Meretz), who yesterday voted against the Draft Law designed to force an increasing number of haredim to enlist in the IDF, has explained the reason behind her decision.
"This Draft Law could end up opening the door to enlisting Arabs to civilian service at some point in the future," she told the Knesset Channel, "and for me, that's a red line."
Zoabi's vote broke coalition discipline and also led to the bill failing to pass in its first Knesset vote.
