Education Minister Yoav Galant vs. Leader of the Opposition MK Yair Lapid.
Leader of the Opposition MK Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid-Telem) said on Monday, âWe deserve more. Yesterday’s cabinet meeting began with [the Prime Minister and the Alternate Prime Minister]⦠Doing their best to insult each other, while 2.5 million children are sitting at home, and while some 90,000 businesses have closed down in the State of Israel, and while, as of this morning, we are at 5,388 [corona-related] deaths. And they are busy insulting each other. We deserve more than this government.”
Lapid was addressing Education Minister Yoav Galant (Likud), who had been summoned by 25 MKs to discuss the âstate of the education system in Israel.”

The letter, issued via the Haifa District Director at the Ministry of Education, Saar Harel, ordered the banning of all groups that “contradict the goals of the education system, including calling Israel false disparaging names, opposing Israel as a Jewish, Zionist and democratic state, discouraging meaningful service in the IDF, or acting to harm or degrade IDF soldiers during or after their service.”
