Rosh Yeshivat Har Bracha, Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, spoke about the decision to end the arrangement between his yeshiva and the IDF, because of his alleged support of insubordination in the army. Rabbi Melamed claims that Defense Minister Barak's accusations against him are a "blood libel". "Unfortunately I have become a focus of the press's interest and the defense minister's malicious act. This is libel against us and our holy Torah, which says just and good things," Melamed said. "They are inciting the public to think that the rabbis are endangering the army, but the senior defense officials, who allow the army to be dragged into political debates, are the ones truly endangering the army."
