Communications Minister Shlomo Kar'ei has agreed to drop the so-called 'Sabbath desecrator' app from the Communications Law, according to Israeli media reports. The app, which enables work on the Sabbath, had been a contentious element in the legislation. Full details of the agreement are yet to be published.
The decision by Minister Shlomo Kar'ei represents a shift in the ongoing debate over the Communications Law. The app, which allows businesses to operate on the Sabbath, faced opposition from ultra-Orthodox lawmakers and religious groups. Kar'ei's agreement to remove it from the bill may pave the way for broader consensus on the legislation. The move follows weeks of negotiations within the coalition, though the full scope of the revised law has not been disclosed.
