Netanyahu calls on ‘Haredi public and leaders’ not to reopen schools Sunday
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu is asked about Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky’s decision to order Haredi boys’ schools to reopen tomorrow, despite a continued ban on doing so.
He says the “Haredi public and leaders” should follow the rules and not reopen schools, but doesn’t directly address Kanievsky’s order or mention his name.
He asserts there is no way to send police to every school that opens in violation of the law, amid criticism that police have been turning a blind eye to violations of the lockdown in predominately ultra-Orthodox areas.
