Health Minister Litzman threatens to leave the coalition over Shabbat desecration
Health Minister Yaakov Litzman said at a meeting of a joint faction of Shas and United Torah Judaism about the desecration of Shabbat by infrastructure work, that "the prime minister must intervene to stop it. If this continues, it is a violation of the coalition agreement and we are not sure we can continue to be part of it."
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri added "our heart has been torn and the State of Israel has turned the Sabbath into a day of maintenance and infrastructure repair."
