Israeli Education Minister Rafi Peretz has spoken of his belief in therapy to convert gays to heterosexuality, leading to calls for him to be sacked and protests on Sunday.
Mr Peretz's comments drew a disavowal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government’s religious-rightist tilt has worried liberals a home and backers abroad. Israel’s LGBT Task Force, an advocacy group, demanded Mr Peretz be fired, saying in a statement his views were “benighted”.Shortly after the interview aired at the end of the Jewish Sabbath, Mr Netanyahu said he spoke to Mr Peretz for “clarification”.
