‘You believe him?’ Shas spiritual leader slams Haredi leaders for trusting ‘atheist’ Netanyahu on enlistment bill
Former Sephardic chief rabbi and Shas spiritual leader Yitzhak Yosef charges Haredi political party heads for being dragged along by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has repeatedly delayed passing legislation that would give military enlistment exemptions for yeshiva students.
“You believe him? He’s an atheist. You trust someone like that? Why do you trust him?” he tells followers at a sermon tonight.
