Jewish Home MK says he was kicked at funeral
Deputy Religious Affairs Minister Eli Ben Dahan, from the Jewish Home party, tells Channel 2 that he was kicked and verbally abused during the funeral.
After the successful election campaign of the Jewish Home under Naftali Bennett in the last election, and the departure of Shas to the opposition, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef made a series of inflammatory remarks about the Jewish Home and its leadership, relating to their effort to mandate military and national service for all Israelis.
