About This Trend

Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, the spiritual leader of the Shas party, is a prominent figure in Israeli ultra-Orthodox politics.

Why is it trending?
He recently made headlines for harshly criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yuli Edelstein, chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Rabbi Yosef called Netanyahu a "liar" and referred to Edelstein as a "son of a priest" during a speech to yeshiva students. This comes amid the ongoing draft law crisis, which has led to the resignation of ultra-Orthodox parties from the government. The comments have sparked widespread media coverage and public debate, highlighting tensions between religious and political leaders in Israel.
