Harming the reformers and strengthening the courts: the demands of the emerging coalition parties on religion and state issues are causing a stir | Israel today

The demands of the parties of the emerging coalition on matters of religion and state are increasing • In Torah Judaism they demand to establish a clause that would harm the women of the Kotel • In religious Zionism they want an expansion of the powers of the rabbinic courts


The demands of the parties of the apparent coalition to strengthen the religious nature of the state are causing a stir among the opposition parties, where they claim that this is a submission to the whims of the ultra-Orthodox and the Council of Torah Elders.

The current coalition negotiations are full of demands on matters of religion and state. "Israel Hayom" has learned that Smotrich demands that the law of the rabbinic courts be amended so that they receive authority to discuss civil matters with an emphasis on appointees with the consent of the parties.

Also, in the agreements of Torah Judaism, there is a clause aimed at harming the women of the Western Wall that states that the government will establish enforcement powers against those who work at the Western Wall contrary to the instructions of the Rabbi of the Western Wall and the Chief Rabbinate.

Knesset member Gilad Karib from Labor attacked the demand and said: "Netanyahu is invited to submit to the Council of Torah Elders, but the majority of the public is averse to surrendering to religious extremism. The Likud has paid a price for this in the past and they will pay in the future as well, if they submit to every whim of the ultra-orthodox parties. I wish the Rabbi of the Kotel was Devotes to the affairs of Mount Meron one tenth of the time he devotes to the war against the women of the Kotel."

PS - I wish the rabbi of the Western Wall would devote a tenth of the time he devotes to fighting the women of the Western Wall to the affairs of Mount Miron.

Member of Knesset Yulia Malinovski from Israel Beitenu said: "Little by little, the things we warned against during the election campaign are taking hold and more and more people are realizing that these were not Geweld shouts about red lights and warning calls. Smotrich wants Din Torah and the rabbinical courts to rule on civil issues? We will fight from the opposition So that it doesn't happen."
