Defense Minister Benny Gantz (Blue and White) praised former Health Minister Yakov Litzman (United Torah Judaism), who resigned Wednesday as a Knesset member as part of the plea bargain in the Malka Leifer case.
"I think that you were a worthy representative for many years," Gantz said. "You protected the Torah of Israel, which we need to honestly say, protected us over the years. You did things out of great dedication and selflessness over the years."
