Feiglin calls for Ben Gurion Airport, public broadcaster to shut down on Shabbat

Zehut party leader Moshe Feiglin has called for the closure of Ben Gurion Airport and the public broadcasting corporation during the Jewish Sabbath. Feiglin stated that state institutions should reflect a distinctly Jewish character, aligning with his party's platform regarding the public observance of Shabbat.

While advocating for these closures, Feiglin clarified that he opposes a blanket ban on all public transportation during the Sabbath. He emphasized that his position is rooted in maintaining the state's Jewish identity rather than a belief in government-enforced religious coercion.
