Another violation of guidelines in the government:
Minister of Religions Yaakov Avitan (Shas) married a couple in Gan Yavne this evening (Tuesday) during an event that took place in violation of restrictions involving dozens of people - this was reported in News 13 by journalist Almog Boker.
Minister Avitan's response: "I regret my participation in the wedding tonight. I arrived at the wedding for a quarter of an hour, I was wrong in my judgment and I hit on sin."
The office of the chairman of Shas, Minister Aryeh Deri, stated: "I have now heard about the wedding that the Minister of Religions, Rabbi Yaakov Avitan, attended.
This is a serious act.
I scolded him for violating the strict guidelines.
Dean is equal to everyone.
The members of the government are committed to maintaining all the guidelines. "
The case comes after Minister Gila Gamliel caused a stir last week, violating the guidelines on Yom Kippur.
As you may recall, the minister, who was infected in Corona, spent the holiday in Tiberias, 150 km from her home in north Tel Aviv.
It is important to note that other senior executives also violated the guidelines.
The latest reported cases concern Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, GSS Chief Nadav Argaman and MK Miki Levy.
