Education Minister and Jewish Home Chairman Rabbi Rafi Peretz responded to the Liberman speech against the haredim and the political impasse.

"The State of Israel faces many security, economic, and social challenges. Every election campaign tears us up inside and weakens society, and a third election campaign in a row all the more so. I call uopn Blue and White, and especially to Benny Gantz: Take national responsibility and come to a broad unity government according to the President's plan, and those who increase the rift should stay out."
