He went on to mention specific combat units in which women serve alongside men, saying that those female soldiers are "the same women you see in border patrol and the Karakal battalion, and the ones you don't see."
In a video attached to the tweet, the former prime minister elaborated on his tweet: "There are women in combat positions that do things that are vitally more important than anything he will ever do in his lifetime."
Barak goes on to say that "some of these women can be seen in the Karakal And Bardelas Battalions, some of them can be seen in the Border Patrol, some you won't see at all. All of them together do things that are vital to national security, risking their lives every day. We should not be heeding the preaching of the clowns who made their way into the cabinet."
