Livni: Fighting for LGBT rights has ‘never been so important’

Knesset opposition leader Tzipi Livni calls for legislation to be amended to guarantee equal rights for the LGBT community in Israel.

Speaking at the start of the Jerusalem Pride march, Livni says that while the annual parade is a joyful occasion, it is not enough.

“We won’t be satisfied with just having parades, the real change will occur when legislation is amended and there is a significant social and political shift,” Livni says.

“We are united in this fight that has never been so important,” she adds.
