Another member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party voices opposition to a bill filed by the coalition’s Shas party that would severely restrict religious practices at the Western Wall that aren’t endorsed by the ultra-Orthodox Chief Rabbinate.
Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel shares a story on the proposal with a headline noting that it would introduce potential prison sentences for women deemed to be dressed immodestly at the Jerusalem holy site.
“It won’t happen,” Gamliel tweets.
