Chairman Avigdor Liberman of the Yisrael Beytenu party has expressed his opposition to the "Supermarket Law," which would close most markets on the Jewish Sabbath.
Speaking at the start of the party's Knesset-faction meeting, Liberman said, "I admit and confess that I go to the supermarkets on Shabbat," adding, "We are going to do everything that the law does not pass in the original version of the Interior Ministry. We must leave this to the local government and not dictate from above."
