Speaking on Kan Reshet Bet, Brigadier-General (res.) Benny Ben Ari stated that despite the concerns of some, there is no phenomenon of refusal to serve in the reserves.
"The moment there is any sign of calling up the reserves, everyone steps forward," he said. "In the past, there were certain people we didn't call up. But right now, despite all the politicized statements, pilots are reporting for duty for all operations. They're not interested in all the posturing; they are dedicated to fulfilling their duty."
