Zionist Union MK Tzipi Livni says the suspension of the Western Wall deal and the new conversion bill are “ripping apart the Jewish people.”

At the weekly Zionist Union faction meeting, Livni says “Judaism is not the monopoly of the Haredi parties — it belongs to all of us and to the millions who live abroad and the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who arrived under the Law of Return and cannot convert.”

“The prime minister who in the past whispered in the ears of rabbis that the left has forgotten what it means to be Jewish — himself forgot what it means to be Jewish and what it means to be the prime minister of the Jewish nation,” she says.
