Former MK and Zehut party leader Moshe Feiglin said that Zionist Union leader Avi Gabbay's claim that "the left has forgotten what it means to be Jewish" was designed to gain right-wing votes but does not match reality.
Feiglin said that many times he had prayed with [former Labor leader] Yitzhak Herzog who has a kippah in his pocket not because he wants to complete a quorum but because he wanted to pray. "Netanyahu never showed up in the Knesset synagogue, so who exactly has forgotten to be Jewish?" asked Feiglin.
