MK Yair Golan (Meretz) has sharply criticized the government for its plan to impose a nationwide closure, starting next week in advance of the High Holidays.
"Another crazy decision; another decision taken that is lacking in all logic," he accused. "What is the logic in forcing a closure on communities where there is hardly any contagion? This ridiculous 'equality' has a huge price tag. It's not logical; it's not fair; it's not right. We'll meet again this Shabbat at Balfour," he concluded, referring to the now-weekly left-wing protests being held outside the Prime Minister's Jerusalem Residence on Balfour Street on Saturday nights.
