Housing Minister Yoav Galant has condemned Wednesday's Haaretz article that incites against the religious public.
The retired general said, "National Religious Zionism is the salt of the earth. Its sons are among the best Israel Defense Forces soldiers. I have been honored to fight alongside them and to command them. Many of them have sacrificed their lives in battle to defend Israel and its citizens. There is no place for hollow statements against one or another Jewish stream by other Jews - our strength is in our unity."
