Minorities will suffer a severe reduction of rights if Religious Zionist Party leader Bezalel Smotrich, Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu form a coalition, Prime Minister Yair Lapid said Monday.
“There is one thing we must not forget,” he said at the Maariv and Jerusalem Post Conference. “Everything we have done in the past year, all the change that started here, can be erased in one day. If the party of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir will be part of the government, LGBT people can forget about the rights they received.” A Netanyahu government also would mean a reduction in women’s rights, Lapid said.
