UTJ leaders called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to reprimand Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman in the wake of his visit Saturday to an Ashdod mall.
In an announcement published in the three party newspapers they wrote "The UTJ party calls on prime minister Netanyahu to immediately call to order the Defense Minister for deepening the rift and public dispute and harming the sanctity of the Shabbat.
"This is a serious and unprecedented act which was done intentionally and after an announcement to the media in order to incite and to disparage with lies the entire religious and haredi community in Israel and to harm the holy day."
