Minister condemns demonstration as a “provocation that wastes food, desecrates the sanctity of Passover, and does not inspire any solidarity.”
Anti-government activists sparked fierce backlash after they held a protest disrespecting the ongoing Passover holiday in front of the home of a religiously observant minister.
Protesters used pita, a leavened bread forbidden to be eaten or possessed by Jews during Passover, to write a message outside of Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman‘s home in Rehovot.
The activists wrote “one pita a day” using the bread, referring to the minimal amount of food hostages still held in Gaza by the Hamas terror group are reportedly provided by their captors.
