Minister Dudi Amsalem of the Likud attacked the cancellation of the parade on Tuesday afternoon, claiming that the cancellation stemmed from a misplaced understanding that from now on, UAL chairman Mansour Abbas is in charge.
"Mr. Abbas, I understand that you are running the government now, seeing as how you forbade the parade through Jerusalem. Could you perhaps allow me and a few other friends to come and pray at the Western Wall by walking through the Old City? Have I understood things correctly, Mr. Orbach?"
