Jewish Agency chairman: Israel is in state of national emergency

Maj. General (Res) Doron Almog, chairman of the Jewish Agency: “Israel is in an unprecedented state of national emergency. An intensifying social rift, and a growing security threat from around us. Our people’s unity is more important than any legislation. Such legislation should come to an immediate halt.

“We must stand as one nation for Israel’s 75th year of independence as a Jewish, democratic, free and liberal state.
