A Muslim Prime Minister in the State of the Jews
Question
Hello Rabbi Michi.
Does the Rabbi see a problem with a Muslim serving as IDF Chief of Staff in the State of Israel, or a Muslim prime minister, assuming that over time they might show loyalty to the State of Israel? If this question is too hypothetical, then could a Druze person who shows loyalty to the State of Israel serve in one of the positions I mentioned above?
Answer
In my view, there is no principled problem with that, only concern about his loyalty.
