MILITARY REFORM
“Upward” will seek to pass laws in the Knesset establishing a foreign fighting force of 12,000 non Jewish combatants who shall form a Foreign Legion and voluntarily serve for 7 years, and in return receive rights to immigrate to Israel. This will force our enemies to fight non Jews and give an opportunity for non Jews to share in the Jewish experience.
“Upward” will reduce the current compulsory military service from 3 years to 2 years For men and reduce by six months to compulsory service for women. This will save the military billions of shekels that will immediately be used to enhance the pay and readiness of career military personnel. The country will save billions more shekels as millions of young people will enter into the workplace one year sooner. This solution will increase the morale of the military, increase the readiness and professionalism of the military while at the same time boosting the economy and allowing young people to begin their lives one year sooner.
