Housing Minister Yitzchak Goldknopf of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party is denounced by politicians after a video surfaces of him dancing to an anti-Zionist, anti-enlistment anthem at a wedding. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praises Goldknopf for disavowing the song. Critics argue that Goldknopf's actions harm the State of Israel and call for his dismissal and enlistment orders. Goldknopf's coalition partners also condemn his behavior. Goldknopf defends himself, disavows the song, and accuses his critics of incitement. Netanyahu calls for unity against enemies.
