Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb has publicly criticized Shin Bet chief David Zinni, accusing him of a "lack of logic regarding Arab terror in Judea and Samaria" and alleging "abuse." Gottlieb posted on X, formerly Twitter, stating that if Zinni felt his position was compromised, he should "be brave enough and resign." She drew a parallel to a hypothetical personal situation where she might change her stance if a family member faced severe legal consequences, but insisted Zinni's role as Shin Bet head demanded a different standard. Gottlieb further decried what she termed "deafening silence" surrounding "criminal behavior by left-wing anarchists against settlers and soldiers" in the West Bank. She also referenced a demand for Minister Orit Strock to acknowledge Arab terror in the region while Strock herself is labeled "disconnected," recalling "dark days." Gottlieb concluded by asserting that in recent months, the Shin Bet has been engaged in bolstering a "false campaign of violence by Jewish settlers," which she believes has harmed Israel's international resilience.
