MK Zvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism) announced today (Tuesday) that he is working to cancel the exemption given to him from serving in the IDF, in order to enlist in the IDF in the coming weeks. About a month ago, MK Sukkot turned to the legal advice of the Knesset in order to find out the legal options before him when he enlists in the IDF. In fact, it is a “phase two” recruitment, which includes regarding two and a half weeks of training and then integration into the IDF reserve system.

In a meeting held between him and the legal advisors, he was explained that his application was being reviewed, with the aim of canceling the exemption given to him in the past and allowing him to enlist in the IDF during the summer break of the Knesset. As I recall, MK Sukkot was not recruited into the IDF due to the evacuation from Gush Katif in 2005 Sukkot then tried to cancel the exemption given to him and enlist in the IDF, but for years the IDF refused to cancel it. Now MK Sukkot hopes that the war has changed the IDF’s approach on this issue as well, and that the army will recruit him.
MK Zvi Sukot said: “Our strength is expressed when everyone looks at themselves and thinks what they can contribute more to the effort to defeat our enemies. In addition to my work as a member of the Knesset, I am also interested in contributing to the military track, which for years I was unable to take part in. This is not the first time I have tried to cancel the exemption given to me following the expulsion from Gush Katif, but I hope that this time the army will not take my request lightly and allow me to serve in the army.”
