MK Yitzhak Goldknopf (United Torah Judaism) declared on Wednesday that the protest convoys will continue 'until they stop harming Torah scholars.' The statement was made during the ongoing protest convoys (שיירות המחאה) organized by the ultra-Orthodox community against the current government's policies, which they view as discriminatory toward yeshiva students. The Zioneer has not reported on this specific protest thread previously. The protest movement has included convoys of vehicles blocking major highways in recent weeks, with participants calling for the state to maintain its longstanding exemption from military service for yeshiva students and to increase funding for religious institutions. The government has not yet responded to Goldknopf's latest statement.
