Kulanu MK Rachel Azariya sharply criticized Tzfat's Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu for his pronouncements against IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot. "There are rabbis here who have become confused and call for war on the IDF. These rabbis are not part of Religious Zionism," said Azariya at a conference for Religious Zionist CEOs at the Dead Sea. "Rabbi Eliyahu's pronouncements exclude him from Religious Zionism. He is allowed to have what he wants but he can not represent Religious Zionism," Azaria added.
