The Ashkanazi Chief Rabbi is David Lau. The Sefardi Chief Rabbi is Yitzhak Yosef. So this crackpot is not Israel's Top Rabbi.
The article is actually referring to Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, who is indeed a top Rabbi over there.
Perhaps you'd do well to read the piece a bit more thoroughly before poppin off.
Speaking of Wiki, Kanievsky is considered a leading authority in Haredi Jewish society
Actually the one who is interviewed is someone called Rabbi Zissholtz. This Rabbi quotes several Rabbis, of which Rabbi Kanievsky is only one. Yes, Rabbi Kanievsky is prominent in Jewish circles. A book was also written about his righteous wife, Rebbetzin Kanievsky. (Rebbetzin means a rabbi's wife.)
