Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman criticized the Basic Law: Torah Study, describing it as a betrayal of IDF soldiers. He stated that his party will repeal the law in the next government while strengthening the IDF and prioritizing those who serve over draft evaders.

The remarks target legislation that exempts full-time Torah students from military conscription. Liberman framed the issue as one of fairness between service members and those avoiding service.
