An Orthodox Likud lawmaker who helped collapse the previous government in protest over legislation allowing leavened bread in hospitals on Passover is mocked by critics for posting an Instagram story on Shabbat welcoming the four released Israeli hostages home.

“Leavened bread is forbidden, but inarticulate stories on Shabbat are allowed,” tweets one user on X about Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman (apparently referring to a grammatical error in the post).

“What does Idit Silman like more? PR? Or keeping Shabbat?” writes another.
