The National Union party sent a protest letter to Education Minister Naftali Bennett after he termed the call by Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu to fire the Chief of Staff "insolent."
The National Union said that "as education minister and leader of the Religious Zionist its not your job to give grades to rabbis or to join those who humiliate and silence the Torah view."
They added that "our protest about the honor of Torah must be heard. We expect you to maintain the honor of the Torah of Israel and its wise sages."
