Due to a fight between Porosh and Ben Gvir: No one will be appointed responsible for Meron this week either

January 13, 2023   

 A power struggle between National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Jerusalem and Jewish Tradition Minister Meir Porush - prevents the latter from being appointed to the position of minister responsible for Meron at the government meeting this coming Sunday.

According to a report by Michael Shemesh in 'Kan News', Minister Ben Gvir demands that the position of the designated minister and the role of the project manager be subordinated to police guidelines.

However, the designated minister firmly refuses this and demands to be the one to have the last word.

בן גביר הגיב: "אין לי בעיה לוותר אבל צריך לקיים דיון מקצועי. מדובר בחיי אדם". באגודת ישראל השיבו לו: "לקחנו את האחריות על מירון מתוך כובד ראש וידיעה ברורה למה אנחנו נכנסים ובכוונתינו להצליח, צר לנו ששיקולים זרים מובילים שרים בממשלה".

For now, the issue will remain outside the upcoming government meeting, despite an explicit demand from the 'Meron Disaster Investigation Committee' for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately appoint a responsible minister, so that there will be time to prepare for the next riot.

It should be noted that only 4 months remain until the date of the celebration.
