Member of Knesset Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Betenu) attacked the Minister of Education, Rafi Peretz for missing a meeting discussing school during Jewish festivals.

"The Minister of Education, Rafi Peretz, chose not to attend the meeting. I do not understand why the minister chooses not to attend meetings or answer letters and approaches by MKs. It shows disrespect for a million students and their parents, who cannot be at work during festivals because there is no school. I call to the Minister of Education to take hold of himself and show leadership."
