Designated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked a member of his own allied coalition over her comments about LGBTQ people.
Designated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a rare rebuke of his new coalition allies on Sunday for saying they would advance laws allowing discrimination against LGBTQ people, pledging there would be no harm to their rights by his upcoming government.
Netanyahu is set to form the most ultranationalist and religious government in Israel's history between his Likud movement and several openly anti-LGBTQ parties Struck said in an interview on Sunday with Kan public radio that "so long as there are enough other doctors to provide care," religious healthcare providers should be able refuse to treat LGBTQ patients.
"In the country that I will lead, there will be no situation where a person, whether he is LGBT, Arab or ultra-Orthodox or any other person, will enter a hotel and not receive service, enter a doctor and not receive service," he said. "A situation in which Israeli citizens feel threatened due to their identity or faith undermines the basic democratic and moral values of the State of Israel," Herzog said. "The racist statements heard in recent days against the LGBT community and in general against different sectors and publics - worry and disturb me a lot."
