Member of Knesset Yulia Malinowski of the Yisrael Beiteinu party sharply criticized Supreme Court Justice Yitzhak Amit's apology regarding his remarks about the parallel use of kosher and regular smartphones by some Haredim. In a social media post, Malinowski questioned the necessity of the apology, stating the phenomenon is well-known and evident to all. "What exactly did the Chief Justice apologize for? This phenomenon exists. Enough with this pretense," Malinowski wrote. She asserted that her parliamentary and daily work with individuals from the Haredi sector has made her intimately familiar with the practice. "I can testify that Haredi Knesset members, their parliamentary advisors, and I know many people from the Haredi community who keep two devices in their pocket, one kosher and one smartphone, and use them according to their convenience," she stated. Malinowski concluded by calling for an end to the pretense of complete separation, urging an end to the charade of being "religious in the morning and 'lite' religious in the evening."
