Political commentator Amit Segal summarizes the events of the Yom Kippur storm and points out the biggest loser from the whole event.
In his weekly column in the newspaper 'Yedioth Ahronoth,' Segal writes: "A clash over prayers like Kol Nidrei and Ne'ilah locks the debate as a dispute between Jews and Israelis, with Jews already having a clear majority for generations. Ben-Gurion said a long time ago that he doesn't go to synagogue, but the synagogue he doesn't go to is Orthodox. And today, you could add: a synagogue with a partition."
Segal continued to write: "The main loser is Benny Gantz, whose supporters are found on both sides of the divide. It's no wonder he posted something that looks like a chatbot request: 'Write a thousand words that mean nothing' until the unavoidable zigzagging of yesterday, under the pressure of the polls, where he had to condemn the prayer disrupters."
"In the clash between Israel Zeira from Rosh Yehudi and Ron Huldai and Assaf Zamir from the Tel Aviv Municipality, the majority of the public supports separate prayers," Segal concluded.
