LEMALLAH supports reduction in the current compulsory military service from 3 years to only 2 years. This policy will be will be phased in over 3 months covering soldiers currently in the military. 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 and begin to pay taxes 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.
