A heated confrontation erupted during a meeting of the Knesset Constitution Committee on Tuesday as Shas MK Erez Malul berated Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon for targeting Lomdei Torah and harming large Chareidi families.

“You are driven by hatred,” Malul cried out. “You seek hatred between brothers. You want to tear Israeli society apart. You and the dismissed Attorney General have placed obstacles in the way of the draft law. You opened a command center whose entire purpose is to figure out how to impose more sanctions on Chareidim. You’re harming women and young children.”

Malul then accused Limon of political motives, saying, “You want a civil war! They promised you that if you bring down the government, you’ll be the next Attorney General. It won’t happen! There will be elections, and the public will have its say. The public is fed up with your dictatorship.”

The remarks were made during a committee discussion focused on the draft issue and measures affecting Chareidi families.
