Baruch Marzel of the Our Land of Israel party reacted on Thursday to the end of the term of Attorney General Menachem Mazuz by reciting the prayer, "Blessed by He who has dismissed us from the punishment of this one," which is usually said by the father of a Bar-Mitzvah boy.

The aide to National Union Member of Knesset Michael Ben-Ari added, "The day he went on the job, Mazuz worked on a leftist, anti-religious agenda and gave legitimacy to mourning and abuse."
