Haredi MK demands full control over Meron disaster probe from Netanyahu
Sources involved in the negotiations say that a final decision on Porush's demands has not been made yet and that it "remains in discussion."

United Torah Judaism (UTJ) MK Meir Porush demanded sole control over preparations for the annual Lag Ba’omer hillula (death anniversary) on Mount Meron, where 45 people were trampled to death in 2021, as part of coalition agreement negotiations with the Likud on Sunday.

Porush, who is expected to be named the new Jerusalem affairs minister, also wants responsibility for carrying out the conclusions to be laid out by the commission of inquiry into the Meron Disaster, which is set to resume on December 13 when prime minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu responds to a letter of warning issued in August. This is despite the ultra-Orthodox MK's previous public opposition to the commission's formation, which he claimed will "corrupt the organized haredi public in Israel."
