The employer doesn't "allow" them to take "time off" to fight as part of the IDF as reservists. This is the law in Israel, and has nothing to do with any employer whatsoever. During this time, Israel's National Insurance is reimbursing the employer for the salary of absent employees.

No employer has to hire IDF members. It’s their choice to allow that or not.

If they employ in Israel, then yes, they have too.

Which is one of the reasons they should not employ people in Israel. Again, it’s a choice the employer is making.
