Anti-LGBT MK Avi Maoz of Religious Zionism tells Army Radio that “the public has spoken” and “it wants a Jewish state.”
He says his party wants to allow “psychological advice for those who don’t want to be gay” — a reference to largely debunked conversion therapy. The Health Ministry under current minister Nitzan Horowitz banned medical professionals from practicing such therapy.
Maoz also spoke of reversing the current government’s reform of kosher certification rules, and said the party would seek to advance “Jewish education.”
