Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel of New Hope condemned the remarks made by the president of the Har Hamor yeshiva regarding the Chaim Walder affair.
"Shameful. The task of spiritual leaders in the face of such great injustice is to voice a moral stance, not to whitewash and take part. Human life precedes any degree or status. Just because sexual assault in the Hareidi sector is ignored does not mean it is gone," Handel tweeted.
