Shas slams Gantz’s promises of civil marriage, Western Wall compromise

The Haredi party Shas slams Gantz’s call, in his first political speech, for civil marriage and approval of the 2015 Western Wall compromise.

“After weeks of silence, your gospel for the people of Israel is civil marriage and a Reform kotel?” the party asks in a statement. “Public transportation on the Sabbath? This isn’t the way to unify the country, but to divide it. Don’t unravel the delicate fabric that unites us as a nation. Don’t touch the heritage of Israel.”

As with the centrist Kulanu party, the Shas statement also comes with pre-prepared graphics, which suggest they had responses ready for a variety of statements they believed Gantz might deliver.
