MK Uri Maklev (UTJ) attacked the decision of the Minister of Religious Services Matan Kahana not to approve the continuation of the tenure of 90 senior members of religious councils throughout the country."
''Minister Kahana has introduced politicization to the Ministry of Religious Affairs. After bringing personal legislation tainted by economic and personal interests in the kashrut reform and attributing to himself administrative and economic powers within kashrut bodies in religious councils, he now begins to meddle in the religious councils as well," Maklev accused.
