Yinon Magal claims he is being denied entry to Rabbi Landau's home

In depth

Presenter Yinon Magal claims he is being denied entry to the home of Lithuanian Haredi public leader Rabbi Landau. According to him, for about a week and a half he has been unable to obtain permission to enter the rabbi's home.

Magal said in a conversation during his segment on the program with Ben Caspit on 103FM that he was told some people fear the meeting would be interpreted in a certain way. He added that the one preventing the meeting is the rabbi's associate, David Shapira, and accused him: "He knows very well why he does not want me to meet Rabbi Landau."

Magal said on the program "HaPatriotim" that they do not want him to influence the rabbi, and explained the differences between the two senior rabbis and their positions on forming a government with the change bloc.
