Transportation Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated on Twitter on Sunday evening that he sides with Education Minister Rafi Peretz's comments that support conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ community members. Smotrich wrote that he 'stands by' Peretz, claiming that although he does not agree with everything the man says, he is 'not prepared to accept a reality in which all 'freedom-of-speech' advocates and liberalism – again prove that they are mainly thoughtful dictators' who attack anyone who 'dares to make a statement that challenges the ideology that rules the discourse.'
