The Darkenu movement on Wednesday appealed to the Minister of Religious Affairs, Matan Kahana, and to the Rabbi of the Western Wall and the Holy Places, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovich, and asked them to prevent the Likud faction from holding a candle lighting event at the Western Wall.
"The Western Wall belongs to everyone, not to the Likud faction nor to Netanyahu. We must not allow the holy place for the Jewish people to be turned into a tool for political division," said the movement's director general, Yaya Fink.
