Yamina MK Shaked: ‘Someone needs to grow some balls’ and allow weddings

Yamina MK Ayelet Shaked denounces the prohibition on holding weddings during a meeting of the Knesset Law, Justice and Constitutional Committee on approving the extension of the government’s emergency powers during the coronavirus lockdown.

Shaked notes that outdoor gatherings of up to 20 people are allowed.

“Couples getting married don’t want to be criminals,” she is quoted saying by the Globes financial daily. “Someone needs to grow some balls and courage and say the truth — we won’t enforce [against] holding weddings with up to 20 people.”
