Knesset Interior Committee chairperson Miri Regev (Likud-Beiteinu) made a special visit to Tel Aviv on Friday morning amid reports that local clubs were refusing entry to soldiers serving in the Israeli Defense Forces.
In recent years numerous IDF soldiers have complained of being refused entry to a few clubs in the city, due to the establishments' left-wing policies and opposition to the Israeli Defence Forces - a decision which has angered the majority of Israelis and drawn ire from numerous Members of Knesset.
On her tour of Tel Aviv clubs, Regev was accompanied by the deputy mayor of Tel Aviv and Likud city faction Chairman, Arnon Giladi.
Regev claimed to have witnessed firsthand how a soldier was refused entry into a club after being "screened" at the entrance. Regev noted that the soldier felt humiliated and said she saw to it that he be allowed to enter.
The Likud-Beiteinu lawmaker intends to work for legislation to prevent discrimination based on a person's service in the IDF and revoke the business licenses of entertainment places that violate the law.
