Israel’s education minister voiced support for so-called gay “conversion therapy”, drawing a disavowal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Israel’s education minister voiced support on Saturday for so-called gay “conversion therapy”, drawing a disavowal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government’s religious-rightist tilt has worried liberals a home and backers abroad.

“I have a very deep familiarity with the issue of education, and I have also done this,” he told Israel’s Channel 12 TV.
