Chairman Avi Gabbay of the Zionist Union has criticized the New Right Party of ministers Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked.

In a Facebook, Gabbay noted, "An absolute majority of Israeli citizens favor public transportation on Shabbat, Naftali and Ayelet prevented this, and voted against our law when they headed the old National Religious Party [old name for the Jewish Home Party -ed.]. And now, what is 'new'?"
