"Democratic Union" Chair Nitzan Horowitz strongly condemns Rabbi Rafi Peretz: "The announcement on Galei Tzahal about the disturbing decision by Education Minister Rafi Peretz to add thousands of hours of Judaism and heritage study should shake every secular parent in Israel. Darkness Minister Peretz doesn't stop with conversion therapy for LGBT and continues with conversion therapy for the secular.

"This is his way - forcefulness and coercion. Only we in the Democratic Union will put an end to the horrific decisions of this religiozation-corrupt government and restore freedom to the State of Israel."
