In this second episode of Beyond the Uniform, we sit down with Yonatan Shalev, an IDF reservist from a special unit who has become one of Israel’s most vocal and courageous activists.

After years of service on the front lines, Yonatan founded Katef el Katef, a grassroots movement of reservists advocating for equal military service across Israeli society. He recently made headlines for demanding for equal duty, passionately demanding justice on behalf of the soldiers still fighting in Gaza and honoring those who never made it home.
