U.S. Rabbis withhold Prayer for New Far-Right Israeli Government, now Justified as that Government Legalizes New West Bank Settlements despite U.S. Objection

Not just rabbis, but many American Jews expressed outrage at the new government. They are especially against the government’s anti-democratic leanings.
