Israel's Supreme Court Says Muslim Prisoners Not Entitled To Bread During Passover

According to YNet News, last week a 3-judge panel of Israel's Supreme Court ruled that the government is not obligated to serve Muslim prison inmates fresh bread during Passover. In a 2-1 decision, the court ruled that for both practical and religious reasons, serving of leavened products in prison facilities where both Jewish and Arab prisoners live together is not required during Passover. In facilities housing only Arab prisoners, inmates are furnished leavened products ahead of Passover which they can use all week. [Thanks to Joel Katz (Relig. & State in Israel) for the lead.]
