Minister Amichai Chikli responded to the remarks of IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari who had earlier criticized the so-called "Feldstein Law" and was reprimanded by the Chief of Staff.
"Many IDF spokesmen turned to politics after their service, Hagari went too far and developed a political career while wearing a uniform, while shamefully abusing his position to support the leaders of the refusal movement. Political criticism by a senior uniformed person against the legislative branch is a crossing of a red line by an officer who apparently missed his civics classes," Shikli said.
