Spokesman Avi Grinzeig clarified that Rabbi Landau's recent remarks were part of a halachic discussion on whether the state may wage a war of choice that endangers soldiers, and did not refer to any specific soldiers or groups.
Rabbi Landau's spokesman Avi Grinzeig provided clarification on Monday regarding the rabbi's earlier remarks. According to Grinzeig, the rabbi's comments were taken out of context and were part of a halachic discussion about the legitimacy of a war of choice and the state's responsibility to avoid endangering soldiers. The spokesman emphasized that the rabbi did not refer to any specific soldiers, including those from the religious Zionist camp. The issue remains a topic of internal religious-Zionist debate.
