MK Moshe Gafni has threatened to withdraw his ultra-Orthodox United
Torah Judaism Party from the coalition if the government decides to
close down yeshivas in the face of the second wave of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Following reports that both the Health Ministry and National
Security Council were pushing for yeshiva closures ahead of Monday’s
coronavirus-focused cabinet meeting, Gafni told Hebrew media on Sunday
that such a move would force him to turn to his party’s rabbinic
leadership and “advise them not to be partners in such a government.”
Nice to see the usual responsible attitude of the Chareidi MK's. Not!
ReplyDeleteIn the end the yeshivos might get shuttered, there will be protests and a few weeks later when it looks like it helped we'll get those same MK's claiming they were all for the closure in order to save lives. In fact, they were ahead of the seculars when it came to closing!
