Shas says rabbi’s cursing of IDF chief is ‘contrary to our path’
The Haredi Shas party speaks out against Rabbi Aryeh Yazdi’s tirade against IDF chief Eyal Zamir.
“The extreme statements heard last night against the IDF chief of staff at the Bnei Brak protest rally in honor of the Torah do not reflect the views of our rabbis, the Council of Torah Sages, and are contrary to the path of the Shas movement,” the party says in a statement.
Several Shas officials including a number of MKs were in attendance at the rally, and did not speak out against Yazdi’s words.
