Head of the NDI party Avigdor Liberman:
"The owners of the Jerusalem cafe 'Ba-simta' decided not to open on Saturdays anymore - they were forced by constant attacks and misdeeds of ultra-Orthodox vandals.
Israel, 2026:
Drinking coffee on Shabbat - is not allowed.
Hating, attacking, and causing disturbances on Shabbat - is allowed.
These are not Jewish values. We do not capitulate to the evaders and will not allow the State of Israel to become a state of Halakha.
Live and let live others. We are against religious dictatorship."
