Outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid slammed Orthodox Zionists on Monday, suggesting that Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu had made a grave mistake in granting authority within the Defense Ministry to lawmakers from that sector.
Unlike some of their ultra-Orthodox counterparts, hardalim are strong Zionists; they participate in the workforce and serve in the army, many in combat units, while adhering to a strict interpretation of Jewish law.
