MK Yisrael Eichler (UTJ) has attacked the government's decision to allow non-Orthodox prayer at the Kotel.

"Whoever thinks that the 'Reform Mourabutat' women will settle for the southern part of the Kotel does not understand their war. Their goal is to break into the Jewish People's holiest place," he said. "Just as the Islamic Mourabitat women carry out provocations and yelling and violence on the Temple Mount, so do the Reform Jews want to evict the shechina and the holiness from the holiest place of all for the Jewish People."

MK Eichler continued: "These are the same Reform organizations that incited against the 'occupation' and present Israel to the world as an apartheid state that deserves international boycotts. Millions of Jews from all backgrounds have come to pray in unity and joy according to halacha for the past 50 years. The 'Reform Mourabitat' want to turn the location into a den of licentiousness where haredi Jews will be forced out of the remains of our Temple."
