Transport Minister Miri Regev will serve as a member of the Corona Cabinet, after the government this evening (Tuesday) approved a change in the composition of the Ministerial Committee regarding dealing with the Corona crisis and its consequences.

In doing so, Regev will replace former Minister of Construction and Housing Yaakov Litzman, who resigned from the government about two weeks ago.

The resignation of Litzman, chairman of the Torah Judaism Party, came after he threatened to do so if a national closure was imposed throughout Israel during the Tishrei holiday period, which did happen in the end. In a letter sent to then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Litzman wrote: Hearing about the plans to close the country on holidays and I have warned all along that it is an injustice and disregard for hundreds of thousands of citizens, ultra-Orthodox, religious and traditional.

If a full closure is to be made, where have you been so far?

Why have Israeli holidays become a convenient address for Corona care despite the severe suffering of the public. "

The former minister added that he "sees as a significant value violation the fact that the Israeli holidays have become something that can be harmed, in advance planning, compared to other areas such as mass demonstrations, the July-August holiday season, etc. Etc.) and this is due to a lack of appreciation for Israeli holidays and festivals. "

Litzman told his associates that his resignation is a step in protest of Gamzo's disregard for Israeli holidays.

"It is clear to everyone that Yom Kippur, which will be closed, will prevent tens of thousands of Jews, including those who come to the synagogue at least on this day, from coming this year due to the closure, which was planned in advance with contempt and disrespect for Israeli holidays."
