Quote of the Day

By Gldmeier @gldmeier

The Haredi public is prepared to accept these understandings [of the need for a broad coalition], but the main reason I have not succeeded yet in my mission is due to bans. Who should understand that more than the settlers community that suffers from bans every day. In our history we have gone through many tragedies as the result of baseless hatred and fighting among brothers. Now, as we look around ourselves and we see the great challenges around us, security challenges, challenge of managing a responsible diplomatic process, these challenges are in my estimation obligating us to unite our forces and not to divide our strengths.
