Netanyahu Pushes Draft Law, Says AI May Reduce Future Need for Troops

•⁠ ⁠Netanyahu said Israel must quickly pass a new draft law and extend military service, saying the IDF currently needs more manpower.

•⁠ ⁠Speaking during a cabinet discussion on sanctions tied to bnei yeshivos subject to the draft, he said AI could eventually reduce the need for soldiers, though that process will take time.

•⁠ ⁠Netanyahu also attacked government legal advisers, saying major decisions were approved under the previous government while the current one faces legal obstacles.

•⁠ ⁠He added that some in the legal system view democracy not as the will of the public, but as what they believe the public should need.
