- He contrasted their basement meeting with holiday sukkah tradition.
- Concerns were raised about the bloc's vision for Jewish identity.
- The opposition meeting discussed a state inquiry and service equality.
Yaki Adamker, a panelist on Channel 14's "HaPatriotim" program, sharply criticized a meeting held by leaders of the "Change Bloc" opposition during the intermediate days of the Sukkot holiday. Adamker focused on the location and timing of the gathering, contrasting it with the holiday's traditions.
He noted that the opposition leaders met "in a basement, opposite a bloc for whom Jewish identity is important." Adamker further stated they met "with food and drink in a basement and not in a sukkah," while "the patriots are sitting in a sukkah." He emphasized a fundamental difference between the blocs, asserting that for one bloc, "the Jewish identity of the state is paramount."
Adamker questioned the future direction the "Change Bloc" intends to lead Israel, particularly in the context of a "state of all its citizens." He raised concerns about the country's trajectory in the coming years and the implications for the next generation.
The opposition meeting reportedly discussed establishing a state commission of inquiry and working towards equality in military service burdens.
