Greenblatt clarified that “Jerusalem is a city of three world faiths,” and that freedom to worship there must be protected.

Liberman: Do we want a Jewish state or halakhic state?

Liberman wrote, "On September 17, every citizen of the State of Israel will have to ask himself only one question: Which country do we want to live in? A Jewish state or a halakhic state in which a group of delusional rabbis will impose a religious coercion, extort the government and determine our way of life according to the laws of King David or King Saul.This narrow government is a great trouble and we will not give it a hand.
