Journalist Anshel Pfeffer says the Israeli prime minister has a 'strange detachment' regarding social issues — which opens the door for conservative members of his coalition to make changes.
with NPR on Dec. 15, Netanyahu said he would control the far-right members of his coalition and that he'd be making the key decisions, saying,"They are joining me. I'm not joining them." But Pfeffer says that Netanyahu's disinterest in social policy opens the door for the ultra-Orthodox and ultra-right fundamentalists in the Knesset, Israel's parliament.
"They want to make those definitions much more stringent," Pfeffer says. For example, converts to Judaism would only be recognized if they had converted through an ultra-Orthodox rabbi — and not through another stream of Judaism, such as Reform or Conservative."This could impact millions of people around the world who consider themselves [to be] Jewish," Pfeffer notes.
