Member of Knesset Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) attacked Tiberias Mayor Ron Kobi on Tuesday for running public transportation on the Jewish Sabbath in cooperation with private associations.
Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio, the Finance Committee chairman said, "Since the establishment of the state, there has been a law that prohibits a municipality from operating public transportation on Shabbat. I asked the minister of transportation and Attorney General Mandelblit to enforce it and prevent Ron Kobi from breaking the law."
