The Shas party faction is calling on all members of the Knesset to sign a petition demanding the immediate release of groom Yaari Lieberman, who was arrested by military police in front of his bride during his Sheva Brachot week celebrations. Shas condemned the arrest as "brutal" and urged the military police to release him "without delay." The party stated, "We are appealing to all Knesset members and asking them to sign a petition calling on the IDF to release the groom immediately so he can return to his celebrations. This is a necessary first step for correction and healing the rift in the nation."
Earlier reports indicated Lieberman was arrested as he disembarked a bus with his bride, en route to their Sheva Brachot. The military police officers involved were reportedly in civilian clothing and lacked identification. The bride was not informed of the arresting officers' identities, leading her to fear abduction.
The Shas announcement joins similar demands from Agudat Yisrael Chairman MK Rabbi Yitzhak Goldknopf and MK Meir Porush. Goldknopf attributed responsibility for the situation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing the failure to regulate the status of yeshiva students. Porush recalled a previous instance where a petition signed by Knesset members from various parties led to the release of an arrested groom.
