Liberman blasts approval of Override Clause

Yisrael Beytenu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman blasted the approval of the law which includes the Override Clause and wrote on his Twitter account, "Override Clause IN – sharing the burden OUT."

"The passing of the Override Clause is a slap in the face of the IDF soldiers and reserve officers. This is another stage of this crazy government on the way to a deep rift among the people of Israel and splitting it in two. As Gafni said – between those who will go to the army and risk their lives and those who will go to yeshiva," Liberman added.

"While the coalition is busy telling the reservists to go to hell, it promotes ruthless legislation that promotes the refusal of tens of thousands of young people to serve under the protection of the law," Liberman wrote. "We will not allow the sacred value of 'sharing of the burden' and 'the people's army' to be overrun and we will continue to fight to keep the State of Israel Jewish, Zionist and liberal."
