Chairman of Torah Judaism Yitzhak Goldknopf
informed Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu today (Monday) that he is relinquishing his seat in the political-security cabinet amid much criticism within his party and in the public.
Torah MK Moshe Gafni. Last week, Gafni sent a letter of protest to Netanyahu about the appointment and published a statement to the media in which he claimed that this was a forum where decisions were made contrary to Halacha.
Goldknopf's decision was made, among other things, to appease Gafni and his faction, but not only. Criticism has been heard in the public in recent days About the fact that a public representative who did not serve in the IDF and represents a public most of whom do not serve in the IDF will participate in the discussions of the forum that makes decisions on military operations.
In a statement on behalf of Goldknopf's environment, it is stated that he "received an instruction in the last few hours from the 'high places' in Gur Hasidism that Agudath Israel must give up membership in the security cabinet, for the sake of peace and unity in Torah Judaism, and informed the designated prime minister."
