Speaking with Kol Chai Radio early Sunday afternoon, Deputy Minister of Defense Matan Vilnai was asked if he sees any chance of the Har Bracha Yeshiva returning to the hesder network.

Vilnai stated that “under the current leadership there is no chance of such an eventuality”, adding what was said cannot be undone and as such, the decision to oust Har Bracha is final.

Regarding the “beating of the war drums” with Israel’s neighbors, Vilnai believes that just as last summer was quiet, he believes this will be the case this year as well, adding “Not everything is in our hands or up to us and while I do not believe there will be a conflict, things may change”.
