Opposition leader MK Yair Lapid commented on the announcement by a senior official in his office that the official would henceforth refuse to report for reserve duty.
"I do not agree with the decision of my former spokesman not to come to reserve service. The IDF is the people's army and I oppose any refusal to serve. I will argue with him about this a lot, but I love him and know that even if he is wrong, he is doing it out of patriotism and true fear for the fate of the country," Lapid wrote on Twitter.
