[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

Deputy Education Minister Meir Porush in his address to the Knesset plenum turns to Yesh Atid leader MK Yair Lapid, explaining that the secular subjects will not be studied against the will of rabbonim in chareidi schools and their bill was passed, undoing the directives of Yesh Atid and the former coalition government.

Porush makes reference to the Yesh Atid video published in response to the passing of the bill, which states close to 1 million citizens will not learn secular subjects and will head for a life a property.

“I didn’t lie” exclaimed Porush, adding “viewers who see this will now understand this”. Lapid stands and apologizes, telling Porush he is correct that he did not lie [when he said it would never happen], adding he erred and apologizes.
