(IsraelNN.com) State Attorney General Menachem Mazuz has ordered a disciplinary hearing for Kiryat Motzkin Chief Rabbi David Druckman for his open opposition to the Gaza/Shomron Disengagement Plan.
Rabbi Druckman’s statements referring to “Sharon the dictator” have elicited a harsh response among the Israeli left, with disengagement opponents calling for action against rabbis on the state payroll, insisting they do not have a right to voice an opinion contrary to government policy.
The attorney general’s recommendation will now be forwarded to Justice Minister Tzipi Livni who will make the final determination in the case.
Responding to the attorney general’s announced decision, Rabbi Druckman stated he will not bow to pressure and efforts to stifle his legitimate voice of opposition will not succeed in intimidating him.
