MK Avigdor Liberman of Yisrael Beytenu criticized the government's intention to approve a "kosher electricity" storage facility this Sunday.

"Another step on the way to a halachic state," Liberman wrote. "For 75 years all the 'righteous' managed without kosher electricity. The forceful move by Shas businessmen and United Torah Judaism comes at the expense of the middle class. They are the ones who will pay the price for it. The construction of electricity storage facilities, combined with the high electricity rates during the week, compared to the cheap rates on Shabbat, will cost the citizens of Israel billions of shekels," he added.
