Activists from the Democrats Party are working to close a state religious (Haredi) school in Atlit, according to Channel 14. The school serves the local religious community. The move comes as the party has publicly demanded the Education Ministry portfolio in coalition talks.
Channel 14 reported Sunday evening that activists from the opposition Democrats Party are operating to close a state religious (Haredi) school in the coastal town of Atlit. The school serves the local religious community. The report did not detail specific actions taken, the motivation for the closure effort, or which activists are involved.
The development follows the party's recent declaration, as reported by The Zioneer, that it demands the Education Ministry portfolio as a condition for joining the next coalition. MK Naama Lazimi (Democrats) stated her intention to become education minister, vowing to stop what she described as the education system's collapse.
The report is attributed to a single source and remains unverified.
