Haredi MKs attacked Zionist Union head Avi Gabbay after he attended a conference on Shabbat and called for Israel to permit public transportation on the Jewish day of rest.
"This is a serious act that has a public affront to the sanctity of Shabbat in public. Mr. Gabai continues with a series of political errors that present his leadership as a great doubt for the future," said UTJ Deputy Health Minister Ya'akov Litzman.
"The time has come to say enough to trampling the Sabbath," added MK Meir Porush, "the time has come to say that the Sabbath is the most precious thing for the Jewish people, and every violation of it is a sacred and lofty concept far more than building a political career or another. It means harming every Jew. "
