TEL-AVIV: The pungent whiff of marijuana can frequently be encountered during strolls past Tel Aviv's sidewalk cafes, and whether its recreational use should now be legalised has become an unexpected issue before Apr 9 elections.
To accusations that he is exploiting marijuana legalisation for political gain, Feiglin has a simple reply. Legalisation is just part of Zehut's unique ideology, which includes far-right positions such as Israel's annexation of the occupied West Bank and an end to Muslim administration of the flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem.
He also champions data privacy, seeks to liberalise marriage procedures, and wants police to be more tolerant of non-violent protests. "In Israel, 27 per cent of the public says they have smoked in the past year and 71 percent are in favour of legalisation," he told AFP at a Tel Aviv cafe terrace.
