MK Avi Maoz (Noam faction) directly attacked coalition MK Simcha Rothman, accusing him of inconsistency: fighting the High Court of Justice on one hand while enabling Reform Jewish presence at the Western Wall on the other, according to i24NEWS. The statement reflects ongoing coalition tensions over religious policy.
MK Avi Maoz (Noam) launched a pointed attack on fellow coalition lawmaker MK Simcha Rothman, accusing him of contradictory conduct on matters of religion and state. According to a statement reported by i24NEWS, Maoz charged: 'With one hand we fight the High Court, and with the other we help the Reform Movement take over the Western Wall.' The criticism targets Rothman's role in shaping Western Wall access policy, which Maoz claims undermines the coalition's own legal battles against the High Court of Justice. The exchange highlights internal friction within the right-wing coalition over the religious status quo, particularly regarding non-Orthodox Jewish prayer at the Western Wall Plaza. No response from Rothman has been reported yet.
