Cities to appeal Interior Ministy’s ruling on Shabbat commerce
A number of Israeli cities say they plan to appeal the Interior Ministry’s decision to annul their municipal bylaws, in a bid to circumvent the a law banning mini-markets from operating on Shabbat.
Modi’in Mayor Haim Bibas says the decision by Interior Minister Aryeh Deri was an effort to shore up political support among his base and the cities would take the matter to the High Court of Justice, “in order to protect all of the citizens of Israel.”
