Benjamin Netanyahu has a new scandal and his opponent Zipi Livni is having her great laugh.

According to the haredi site "Ladaat. Net", Netanyahu and his wife Sarah went to a non - kosher restaurant in Jerusalem last Friday night (Leil Shabbat).

Some years ago, before the elections to the 14th Knesset, Netanyahu told the famous local Kabbalist Rabbi Kaduri z"l that the left - wings parties apparently forgot about their Jewish identity. This time, before the elections to the 18th Knesset, Netanyahu himself seems to have forgotten about his Jewishness by eating at a treife place.

Pictures were taken showing him eating while outside the press was gathering. Netanyahu immediately understood the situation and tried to make some excuses. He just ate a Shnitzel but refused the dairy dessert.

However, today the Israeli press is jumping on the new scandal and Netanyahu's religious friends are upset. It is well - known that he is not a "Shomer Shabbat" but desecrating Shabbat and eating publically in a non - kosher restaurant ? This is too much for his religious political followers / partners.
