Yitzhak Goldknopf, chairman of the Agudat Yisrael party and a Member of Knesset, sharply criticized police actions overnight Tuesday, during which officers searched for a yeshiva student. Goldknopf described the events as "shocking and infuriating," stating that police forces breaking into a private home in the dead of night to hunt a yeshiva student, whose only offense is studying Torah, is a "badge of shame for a Jewish state."
According to Goldknopf, the incident reflects what he perceives as an escalation in the treatment of Torah scholars. He asserted that the "persecution of Torah scholars has reached its peak, and the responsibility for this lies with the Prime Minister." Goldknopf emphasized that this is a principled struggle for his party, declaring, "We will not rest and will not give up. We will fight for our right to lead a Jewish way of life in the State of Israel."
