We see nation-states collapsing all around us: Libya, Syria, Iraq. We do not want another failed state in our neighborhood, which would rapidly turn into a stronghold for terrorists, as we have seen in Gaza. We do not want tunnels to suburbs of Tel Aviv or missiles pointed at Jerusalem.
Ayelet ShakedI expect from our judges that their verdicts are also inspired by Talmudic law - and not only by common law or European justice systems.
Ayelet ShakedAs the head of a religious party, I am not in favor of civil marriage or the full recognition of non-Orthodox converts in Israel.
Ayelet ShakedIf Europe thinks Jews will return to the days where we were forced to mark our products - you can forget it. De-legitimization of parts of Israel by Europe is the new anti-Semitism. The old anti-Semitism led to the destruction of our people in gas chambers. We will not allow the new anti-Semitism to hurt us.
