Chairman of Yad Labanim on the placement of politicians in cemeteries: "Why put a finger in the eye and do it instead?"

The chairman of the Yad Labanim organization, Eli Ben Shem , spoke today (Thursday) with Roni Bar-On and David Forer on 103FM ahead of Memorial Day and referred to the publication of the list of burials of the politicians in the cemeteries.

"Metula was not closed and Miron was?": The storm following Goldknopf's words
Netanyahu in a dramatic statement: "I have made a decision, we will do what is necessary – including in Rafah"

Ben Shem opened by saying: "First of all, in Yad Labanim, opinions are divided, there are from all sectors, from all denominations and from all religions, and there is no unified opinion. And we already approached the Prime Minister a month ago and asked to be partners in the placements. They now put ten ministers who did not serve in the army, and last year it was exactly the same and they all resigned in the last week, so why stress and point a finger in the eye and do the right thing."

"We could have sent Smotrich to the Mount of Olives and Hebron, to places that would respect him," he explained, "the placements are not correct, the secretary of the government and the secretary of the Knesset should have sat down and thought about where to send people. The minister of the interior, who served in the army, went to Safed, a very religious city, and they received him with great love , and I think that every minister should have looked at where he fits, because in my eyes the sanctity of the day and that we should be worthy of our fallen is not interesting to me in politics."

He also added: "There are all kinds of suggestions, maybe make a uniform speech that the speaker of the Knesset will write together with the chairman of the coalition and the opposition, maybe they will put a stranger and not speak as happened last year, maybe representatives from the opposition and the coalition will come and put a stranger together and not speak to symbolize unity , but there is no listening ear and no one willing to listen. Everyone is sealed."

"Remembrance Day is a day of holiness, a day on which there has always been a national consensus, and there will be a fratricidal war there and they will not be allowed to speak. Today we were with the Minister of Defense and he said that it has no effect. I hope that everyone will act with no sense and relax and we will pass this holy day together as the fallen fell together and we will fight together and pray that the people of Israel and our leaders will be worthy of them," concluded Ben Shem.
