Serving even those with 10 children. How the Israeli mobilization differs from the Ukrainian one.
According to Igal Movermaher, a journalist for the Russian-speaking website 'Vesti Israel', the Israeli mobilization system differs from the Ukrainian one. In Israel, there are no draft dodgers and there is a high level of motivation among service members. There is no escape from service here, and the reserve service system is simple and understandable for everyone.
«There are no draft dodgers like in Ukraine in Israel. No one flees anywhere, and no one is hunting anyone down,» emphasizes Movermaher.
In Israel, after completing compulsory service, every service member is assigned to a reserve unit and is regularly called to training. Having children in the family is not a reason for exemption, and many men voluntarily continue to serve, demonstrating their patriotism.
Women in the reserves
Women also undergo compulsory military service, but only some of them are allowed into the reserves. After compulsory service, most women are not called up for military training. This model of mobilization allows Israel to maintain its defense potential and ensures a high level of public interest in military service.
The Ukrainian mobilization system can take into account the positive experience of Israel to increase the motivation of service members and avoid the phenomenon of draft evasion in society.
The presented material outlines the differences between the Israeli mobilization system and the Ukrainian one, emphasizing the importance of high motivation among service members and the absence of draft evasion in Israel. Such an experience can be beneficial for Ukraine in improving the quality of military service and increasing patriotism among citizens.Read also
