Haredi journalist Ariel Elharrar, who first publicized the story, updated on the noble deed of MK Rothman and praised him. "Many thanks to MK Simcha Rotman who dropped everything two hours before Shabbat and went to Prison 10 to try to release the arrested married yeshiva student and was successful," Elharrar wrote on Friday on Twitter.
"The father is on his way home with Rotman, as soon as he realized there was a new mother and 4 other small children who needed their father he turned over every stone for them, and of course thanks to everyone who helped and wants to stay behind the scenes," he added. "Champion".
The chairman of the Religious Zionism Party, MK Bezalel Smotrich, added: "Anyone who knows Simcha knows that with his perseverance and determination there is no wall he will not break in his way to help people who need it. Great pride goes to Religious Zionism and the National Camp blessed with a loyal public messenger like him."
