Knesset Speaker fears that burden equality bill will tear nation apart

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein expressed concern that the bill for equal share of the burden will tear the country apart. "The aim of the bill is to justifiably bring equality, but if the result is a civil war, we did not gain anything," Edelstein said during a meeting in his office with Knesset officials.

In addition, the Knesset Speaker condemned the incitement against MK's. "I'm all for freedom of expression, but distributing pictures of elected officials wearing Nazi uniforms is severe, and may cause them real harm." (Moran Azuay)
