Sephardic Chief Rabbi Curses State Attorney General Over Event Cancellation
Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, a spiritual leader of the Shas party, fiercely attacked the State Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, during his weekly sermon on Saturday. The condemnation stemmed from Baharav-Miara's directive to cancel memorial events for the anniversary of his father, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's, passing. The cancellation was reportedly due to concerns about election propaganda.
Rabbi Yosef urged his followers to disregard the Attorney General's order, invoking divine retribution. "Let them not listen to her, may God destroy her and give her her punishment, this will not pass in silence," he declared. The remarks signal a significant clash between religious leadership and the legal establishment regarding the use of public events for political purposes.
