Tel Aviv-Jaffa Mayor Ron Huldai filed a defamation lawsuit against Minister Miri Regev after she claimed at a Likud party activist conference in 2020 that he does not allow tefillin to be placed on the streets of the city. The lawsuit was dismissed today (Sunday) at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court.
The decision was made withHuldai's consent after Judge Dorit Kovarsky recommended that he withdraw from the lawsuit. Despite the reasons for which the lawsuit was dropped, RegeV was quick to celebrate the decision: "Victory for Tefillin!", she wrote in X.
