Movement Away From Model[edit]
There has recently been a change in the divisions of the IDF, which has led away from the idea that this model serves as a melting pot among different groups in Israel. The changes proposed would alter the tracks of those who enlist with the goal of becoming a professional in their chosen area of service. This would distinguish them from the rest of young soldiers that enlist only as an act of national obligation; it targets "talented" individuals who will most likely want to continue their service after the required period is over.[1]
There is also debate within the country on the definition of the term "People's Army," because this would suggest that everyones serves with the same end-goal. However, there is a modern day divide among those serving to ensure that Israel maintains its status as a military powerhouse and others who serve because it maintains a sense of Zionism. [2]
