MK Yinon Azoulai Attacks Gil Limon, Calls Him “the Mind Behind the Sanctions Against Haredim”

MK Yinon Azoulai of Shas sharply attacked Deputy Attorney General Adv. Gil Limon on Monday night, claiming that he is behind the sanctions against the Haredi public and is driven by hatred of Haredim, the right wing and Netanyahu. MK Yinon Azoulai of Shas sharply attacked Deputy Attorney General Adv. Gil Limon this evening, saying he is the main figure behind the sanctions against the Haredi public. “He does his bidding. He is the mind behind everything,” he said in an interview on Kol Chai radio. “The only thing in his backbone is hatred, hatred of Haredim, the right wing and Netanyahu.”

Azoulai referred to a confrontation earlier in the Knesset committee between himself and Limon, who described questions raised in the debate as “populist.” “When we attacked the attorney general, she got up and left. They are not capable of dealing with things face to face. When they come to the Knesset, the home of the Jewish people, they need to understand that they will not feel comfortable. The goal is for them to understand that there is a legislature, and the legislature has its say.”

Azoulai stressed that the Haredi parties do not oppose expanding benefits for reservists and other families, but they will not agree to do so at the expense of Torah scholars. “Do not raise a hand against the Torah scholars. Wherever they try to harm them, we will stand like a fortified wall.”
