In veiled criticism of minister, PMO official says closing Ayalon ‘unreasonable’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn official in the Prime Minister’s Office says it would be “unreasonable” to close Tel Aviv’s Ayalon highway for construction of a new bridge.
The statement appeared to represent veiled criticism of Transportation Minister Israel Katz, who ordered that construction of the bridge on Shabbat be prevented due to pressure from ultra-Orthodox parties.
The directive would likely force the city to have construction carried out during the week, which the Prime Minister’s Office opposes.
