Yediot Ahronot’s military correspondent, Yossi Yehoshua, claims that the defense establishment doesn’t need more charedi soldiers, and therefore the discussion of the draft law is completely unnecessary.
“You ask if the IDF needs more charedim in service and the answer is no,” Yehoshua told Army Radio. “There are about 3,000 charedim who enlist in the army every year, the majority for combat units, and more charedi soldiers will cause another headache for the IDF.”
“It’s clear to everyone that the IDF doesn’t need charedi soldiers, not even in the combat units, and will soon release a large number of soldiers. They are very expensive – a charedi soldier costs more than double than a regular soldier and therefore this whole discussion is completely unnecessary,” Yehoshua concuded.

why would a chareidi soldier cost more?

Because they have to provide them with mehadrin food and maintain their battalions. Chareidi soldiers enlist in Netzach Yehudah.
Sure it is because “it’s not fair” if they don’t serve so what if we make them go against the tora etc
wow way to put words in his mouth. do you feel proud of yourself for that!
Finally, someone is being honest about this.
Lieberman took down the Netanyahu government on purpose. He knew full well that the draft is one of the issues the chareidim have very little wiggle room to compromise with. He also should know full well that the IDF has no need for chareidi soldiers and would rather not have to deal with their religious needs.
The so-called “chareidim” they’re referring to are either Nachal Hachareidi who are not chareidim or ausvorfs.
