Deputy Minister Avi Maoz has resigned from the government, citing pressure from a 'deep state' that he claims has taken over the Justice and Education Ministries. Maoz alleges that this alleged cabal of officials is promoting a hyper-progressive, anti-Jewish, and anti-national worldview in Israel's education and legal system. He also blames the 'deep state' for halting collaboration with his office and preventing additional budgets for national religious schools. This is the second time Maoz has resigned from the government.
