Deputy Health Minister MK Yaakov Litzman (United Torah Judaism) said in response to Gantz's speech, "Benny Gantz discovered political basic training this evening, to talk about cooperation with the ultra-Orthodox, and in the same breath to declare public transportation on Shabbat, the couple's covenant and the Reform Wall; these things cannot go together and won't work."
"Benny Gantz, history proves that preserving the values of tradition and religion is a guarantee of political success, while taking an anti-religious agenda is a recipe for failure," added Litzman.
