Former Maayanei Hayeshua Hospital in Bnei Brak Director Professor Moti Ravid spoke with journalist Mendy Bitan on the Kan Moreshet state religious station and commented on his remarks against the haredi public.

"The things I said were aimed at a certain minority - the Belz, Vizhnitz Hasidim, the extremist neighborhoods of Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh, the extremist faction in Modi'in Illit - and I won't retract the things I said pertaining to them."
