The Meretz list for the Jerusalem city council demands that the funding of the religious council in the city be stopped altogether.
"The council did not convene because it refuses to accept many rabbis, women and public figures who have been duly elected by the public to serve as members because they are women or because they belong to the non-Orthodox streams of Judaism and the free public," said Laura Werton. "
"There is no justification for the fact that the members of the Jerusalem City Council elected by the public voted for the establishment of a body that does not convene, in which the Minister of Religious Affairs and the mayor cooperate with an offense against the law and humiliate the court ... The municipality must stop paying the council and renew it only after the council convenes And according to the ruling of the High Court of Justice and in the presence of all its elected members, "wrote Verton.
