Netanyahu: Public welfare determined moving of graves
None
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the "public welfare" had conquered ultra-Orthodox protests against the moving of graves from a site designated for Barzilai Hospital's new emergency room.
"There is an important haredi public that sees itself hurt by the decision but after checking we have reached a decision that it should be done. Public welfare conquers, this is our guideline. If we can we confer and attempt to reach conclusions, but in the end the government's decision is according to public welfare," he said during a Cabinet meeting. (Ronen Medzini)
