MK Cabel concluded the meeting saying, “no one will drag us into a fight against the religion. We are launching a campaign not against religion, but for religion. We are embarking on a difficult journey for those who want kashrut and to preserve the religion – and we will bring about change. The monopoly of the Chief Rabbinate will end, and this will happen in my lifetime. There will not be double payment on faith.”

MK Uri Maklev (United Torah Judaism) addressed the demand for competition in the kashrut certification market and said that, by the same token, we can ask for competition in the issuing of health and fire certifications for hotels.
