Opposition leader Yair Lapid meets at the Knesset with a group of rabbis and representatives associated with the national religious community and urges them to join protests against the government’s judicial overhaul plans.
“During the meeting, the head of the opposition thanked the group of rabbis for holding the meeting and called on them to raise a strong and prominent voice, and take an active part in the protest against the coalition’s legislative efforts,” a statement from Lapid’s office says.
The national religious community is closely associated with the right-religious government.
