MK Simcha Rothman, the chairman of the Knesset’s Law Committee, slammed Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara and the entire judicial system for their move to revoke Section 46 tax-deductible status from yeshivos and Torah institutions while preserving all rights for terrorists and terror supporters.

In an interview with journalists Aryeh Erlich and Zeev Kam on Reshet Bet, Rothman said, “When we sought to revoke Section 46 status from organizations that defame IDF soldiers, support terrorism, and glorify terrorists — the ones who stood firmly by their side to protect their funding were the government’s legal advisers.”

“This is persecution of the Chareidi sector that is completely disproportionate,” he asserted. “The High Court reinstates child benefits for terrorists who served prison sentences, but yeshivos are stripped of Section 46 status.”

“I support integrating Chareidim, but I won’t be convinced until the day someone shows me that organizations teaching terrorist content aren’t receiving Section 46 status,” he concluded.
