Interior Minister Moshe Arbel demands Likud retract ‘shameful’ comments on Meron inquiry
Interior Minister Moshe Arbel of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party demands Likud retract the “shameful statement” made by the party earlier today in which it derided the inquiry into the deadly Meron crush as a ‘political weapon’ used against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his opponents.
“I call on the Likud spokesman to withdraw his shameful response to the commission of inquiry into the Meron disaster and its findings,” Arbel says. “We must all respect the dead and their families and guarantee that we will do everything to implement the committee’s findings in full to save human lives.”
Likud MK Eli Dallal also appears to criticize his own party, writing on X that “if there is nothing good/smart/or leaderly to say, it’s better not to say anything!”
