The Chairman of the Religious Zionist Party and designated Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, was interviewed this morning (Sunday) here B and refused to condemn the words of MK Avi Maoz, designated for the post of Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, who expressed support for canceling the Pride Parade in Jerusalem.
MK Avi Maoz caused an uproar: “The pride parade in Jerusalem should be canceled”; Netanyahu disavowed his words
The rebellion against Avi Maoz is expanding: more than 50 authorities have already announced that they will not cooperate
“We don’t need to deal with that, it’s not important, the matter is blown out of all proportion. I want to deal with the scandal that the prime minister and mayors are committing sedition. We are not in the opposition, we were given the keys and we need to talk less and do more. No one will be hurt. Our challenge is also to convince Those who did not choose us that we do good for all citizens of the State of Israel,” said Smotrich.
When the interviewer, Assaf Lieberman, told Smotrich that for many listeners from the LGBT community this is a fundamental matter, Smotrich replied: “The listeners from the LGBT community are also much more interested in bringing food home. I am not ready to cooperate with this show of hypocrisy that decides what What is important and what is not important.”
Smotrich also attacked the outgoing Prime Minister, Yair Lapid, and the heads of the authorities who announced that they would not cooperate with Maoz’s plans in the field of education: “When Yossi Sharid and Shulamit Aloni were Ministers of Education, did someone from our camp call not to cooperate with them? There is no way in the world that they are carrying out revolt”.
Smotrich also referred to the expected rotation in the Ministry of Finance between him and Aryeh Deri: “The rotation is not related to the question of stability, the government will be stable and last four years with God’s help. If Deri offers food stamps I will support him, because the first and second in politics is to keep promises to your partners, And it’s not necessarily a bad idea either.”
