Why?
Because the fourth slot in the Labor list for Knesset is a Reform rabbi, Rabbi Gilad Kariv.
That's not the funny part of this though.
The funny part is that they said not only will they not sit with him in a coalition, but they also won't count him for a minyan in the Knesset shul. They said they won't throw him out of the shul (would they even be able to if they wanted to?) but they will make sure they have ten men, a minyan, without him, and he can be the 11th and on.
So, no coalition with the Haredi MKs and no mincha either.
Haredim not counting the Reform as part of a minyan is nothing new, so this isn't surprising, but it is cute how they linked the two.
More coming, in the next post, on the coalition issue.
