Ramat Hasharon mall ordered to close on Saturdays, drawing outcry from secular lawmakers

The legal adviser to the Ramat Hasharon municipality has ordered the BIG Fashion Glilot mall to remain closed on Saturdays, the Jewish sabbath. Secular politicians are expressing support for keeping the shopping center open, arguing for the right to live according to their own path and faith. However, the legal adviser states that municipal inspectors will enforce the law and fine businesses at the mall. Opposition Leader Yair Lapid argues for live and let live, while Labor Minister Yoav Ben-Tzur emphasizes the importance of preserving workers' rights and enforcing labor laws.
