MK Yinon Azulai of Shas was interviewed on 103FM and refused to condemn Rabbi Landau's remarks against IDF soldiers. Azulai said he does not interpret the rabbi, just as he does not interpret statements made against Haredim. He referred to violent incidents involving police and Haredim, noting that police should also show restraint. Azulai admitted the party wanted to avoid these scenes in the current term, which is why they sought to pass an equal conscription law for everyone.
