The Women of the Wall activist group writes a letter to prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu asking him to not appoint firebrand far-right MK Itamar Ben Gvir as public security minister.
In the letter, the group — which holds controversial monthly women’s prayers at the Western Wall — says Ben Gvir is unfit for the job because of “his harassment and incitement at the Western Wall against the Women of Wall.”
The Religious Zionism MK — who has demanded the job of public security minister, which oversees the police — is opposed to the group’s activities and has repeatedly shown up at the wall during their prayer services to heckle them.
