[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]
MK (Yesh Atid) Aliza Lavie is calling to bar certain rabbis from addressing IDF personnel, dati leumi rabbonim who are behind a video seeking to influence religious girls not to serve in the IDF but to opt for Sheirut Leumi, national service. She turned to IDF Chief Education Officer Brigadier-General Avner Paz-Tzuk to ban these rabbonim from encounters with personnel.
This includes rabbonim affiliated with the Chotam organization, which opposed military service for women. She refers to HaRav Shlomo HaKohen Aviner and his followers, who correctly feel there is no place for females in the IDF at a time the number of religious girls entering the military has increase annually over recent years.
Video below to persuade religious girls not to enter the IDF but to opt for Sheirut Leumi.

Wow amazing video
It’s ironic that yesh atid which always identifies with the radical left suddenly becomes so zionistic when it comes to girls going to the army
The Chazon Ish fought tooth and nail to keep girls out of the army and even from Sheirut Leumi. Perhaps he saw this coming.
Kol hakavod to all the young men and women who take responsibility for defending the citizens of the State of Israel. Not every Rav is correct in everything he believes.
Aliza Lavie, let go, you are wrong.
No girls at all, whoever they are, in IDF, please!
Tznius.
