After women discriminated against on buses, Netanyahu says offenders should be punished

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issues a terse statement in reaction to a series of incidents of discrimination against secular women by bus drivers or by Haredi passengers in recent days.

“The State of Israel is a free country, in which nobody will set limits on who use public transportation, and in which nobody will dictate where he or she will sit,” he says. “Those who do this are breaking the law and should be punished.”
