What the parties say about this issue
A documented position was found for 10 of the 19 parties we checked
How do we determine a position?
We check the party's current official platform first, and where none exists, its official website or public policy documents, ranked by reliability: a current platform outranks an official website, which outranks a policy document, which outranks an official statement or high-quality reporting. We never guess or infer a position that isn't explicitly written in one of these sources — when nothing clear was found, we say so directly instead of estimating.

In their own words (not from an official platform)
“I didn't say a conscription law. There's already a conscription law for everyone — you don't need a [new] conscription law. ... You're a person, you turn 18 in your country, you regularize your status with the State of Israel, you get rights from the state. If you haven't regularized your status, you don't get rights from the state.”
