MK says ties with US Jewry ‘fractured’ by freezing Western Wall plan
Zionist Union MK Nachman Shai harshly criticizes Netanyahu’s decision to freeze the 2016 government-approved plan to establish a pluralistic prayer pavilion at the Western Wall.
“The government’s flip-flop this morning earns a high score for acrobatics, but ranks low on credibility,” he says in a statement. “Most of US Jewry will feel disappointed, frustrated and betrayed.”
“US Jewry is a stable and strong bridge between the two countries, and this morning, that [relationship] was fractured.”
