“The problem of many societies is that they look primarily at the flaws of people. Let's remain a country in which we value each and every one of us rich and strong, ”said Netanyahu. He added that Defur deserves his dreams come true, thanked the young man for his desire to serve his country and wished good luck in the army.

The young man will become a full member of the garrison at one of the air bases of the Israeli Air Force.

Defour has already met Netanyahu in June. Then the young man said that he had three dreams: to have more friends, take a ride in the car of the prime minister and get into the army. Netanyahu promised to help Defur and told about two million of his subscribers. on facebook. After that, Daniel received so many friend requests that he quickly exhausted the standard limit in 2000 people and started a public page. On his armored Audi A8, the prime minister also rolled it.

For help with the last desire of a young man, Netanyahu appealed to the public organization "Recruits with Features" (Special in Uniform). They are engaged in the social rehabilitation of adolescents with medical pathologies who do not want to use their exemption from service on conscription.

In Israel, there is universal military service. Young men are called for three years, and girls for two. Exempt from service only Orthodox Jews of religious convictions and people with disabilities. Criminal liability is provided for evading the army, but service is popular with most Israelis. In many elite units (special forces, Air Force, Border Service) the competition reaches several dozen draftees per seat.
