MK Yair Lapid (Blue and White) on Sunday evening responded on Twitter to MK Bezalel Smotrich (United Right), who said at the Jerusalem Day celebration at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva that he wanted to be appointed Justice Minister in order "to return the Torah to its foundation."
"No, we will not allow that to happen. There will not be a halakhic state here," Lapid wrote.
