Shas Rabbi Conditions Support for Communications Law on Passage of Torah Study and Kashrut Bills
The Knesset is continuing its legislative push on Tuesday to pass several controversial bills before its dissolution. Among these is the Communications Law, which has sparked debate within the coalition. Communication Minister Shlomo Karhi sent a detailed letter to Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, a senior rabbinic authority in the Shas party, explaining the provisions of the Communications Law. Rabbi Yosef responded by stating that Shas would support the Communications Law only if the Basic Law on Torah Study and the Kashrut Law are passed in return. This exchange highlights the political bargaining underway as the coalition seeks to advance its legislative agenda before the upcoming elections. Further details are expected to emerge soon.
