Ultra-Orthodox said fuming at Sa’ar after ‘Equality Bill’ advances
Ultra-Orthodox lawmakers are angry with Gideon Sa’ar, the former Likud lawmaker who announced on Tuesday he would form his own right-wing party, for failing to vote against the so-called “Equality Bill,” which advances in its preliminary reading.
“Gideon Sa’ar promised he would vote with us on the Equality Bill, and deceived us — he has lost us,” an unnamed source tells the Kan public broadcaster.
