Members of the Knesset of the Torah Flag visited the home of Rabbi Meir Zvi Bergman, an elder member of the party's Torah Council, who spoke to them about the importance of exempting yeshiva members from conscription. According to his students, the rabbi called the ombudsman a "witch" and told the representatives: "Yeshivas, if you all stand on this point, then I knew that the Holy One, blessed be He, would stand to our right and by God's help, there is a witch there."
