Zehut party chairman Moshe Feiglin said at the Olam Katan conference that he would topple a bill that would comprehensively ban public transportation on Shabbat. Feiglin clarified that the state should not impose a solution from above, but he also does not support an immediate change to the current situation without providing a suitable solution for the public. According to him, the issue of public transportation should be examined at the local authority level as part of a broader concept of state relations, Jewish identity, and freedom of choice. Feiglin emphasized that his positions do not stem from a desire to weaken Jewish identity, but rather the opposite – he wants to strengthen it through greater freedom for citizens. He expressed confidence that the public would choose to strengthen the world of Torah. The article presents his words without analysis or counter-reactions.
