After heavy pressure from the ultra-Orthodox:
Transport Minister Miri Regev agreed today (Wednesday) with the Chairman of the Board and CEO of Israel Railways that some of the work carried out on Shabbat will be moved to weekdays during the night.
The Deputy Minister of Transportation, Uri Makleb, also participated in the meeting, as I remember the chairman of his party, Rabbi Yitzhak Goldenkopf, sent a letter in which he demanded that the railway work on Shabbat be stopped.
According to the work plan presented at the meeting, some of the work that was planned to be done on Shabbat will be spread over several nights during the week, thus it will be possible to reduce the number of works on Shabbat to the minimum necessary.
Minister Regev suggested that the service to the public will not be harmed in any way due to the reduction presented at the meeting.
