Opposition attacks Bennett’s ‘united Jerusalem’ study plan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleZionist Union Knesset faction members are attacking Education Minister Naftali Bennett over a plan reported on earlier in the day to make a “united Jerusalem” the focus of the next school year.
“I heard Education Minister Naftali Bennett, who woke with a need for headlines and announced the year of united Jerusalem,” opposition head Isaac Herzog says at the faction meeting. “We all love Jerusalem, but I wonder which Jerusalem Bennett means.”
MK Merav Michaeli says at the meeting that Jerusalem is already divided, recounting that she saw only police during a morning visit to the Western Wall.
“Israelis are afraid to go. This isn’t a terror wave. The army is making concrete proposals and the government has its ears glued shut,” she says.
