Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid sharply condemned the Religious Zionist rabbis who signed a letter against the adoption of children by the LGBT community in Israel.
Lapid termed the letter a "declaration of civil war and a warped expression of "loving one's neighbor like oneself."
The Religious Zionist leaders had written a letter in support of Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked's response in the state's name to the Supreme Court stating that adoption by same-sex couples would add "additional anomalies" to the adopted child.
