Jewish Home activists back Bennett on coalition demand

Thousands of Jewish Home activists sign a letter of support for party leader Naftali Bennett over his demand for a military secretary for the security cabinet in return for his support in bringing Yisrael Beytenu into the government.

“We won’t agree to put civilian lives in danger for the sake of personal political whims, which cause a lack of information about the army from the ruling body,” Ynet quotes the letter as saying. “What we demand is to save lives. We support the head of the movement and the decision of the faction to vote against an expansion of the government unless there is an immediate correction on this issue.”
