Bayit Yehudi party MK Moti Yogev is taking an opposing position from party leader Naftali Bennet, siding with the position of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu against Bennet.
While he did not attack Bennet directly, Yogev did state “The Likud criticism of Bennet is justified”, speaking to Kol Chai Radio host Moti Lavi.
Likud claims that the Education Ministry, which is under Bennet’s responsibility, textbooks that are inciteful are being used in school in the Arab sector of the eastern capital.
When asked what is discussed on the matter during cabinet meetings, Yogev, who is not a cabinet minister, stated “I am not at those meetings but the matter should be discussed and opposed”.
In its criticism, Likud calls on the Education Minister (Bennet) to enforce regulations and the curriculum, admitting this is difficult in some eastern Jerusalem area schools.
Yogev was asked who he supports in the race for party leader since today, there are a number of candidates. Yogev explained that he already stated he would support Bennet, adding “There is much to repair however”, stating “We must know that the foundation of the party is Toras Yisrael and I hope this is fixed”.

it is terrible that the PA has inciteful textbooks and the world and Israel are quiet about it.
NO money should be given to them for education schools using such books should be closed down!
