Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb of the Otzma Yehudit party has publicly called for the resignation of Shin Bet Director David Zini, accusing him of serious misconduct. Speaking on Radio Tzafon 104.5FM, Gottlieb alleged that Zini's subordinates engaged in fabricating evidence and creating distinctions within the agency, referencing "shocking recordings" that she claimed revealed such practices. She also criticized what she termed a "false campaign" of settler violence, asserting that international criticism should focus on Palestinian actions in Judea and Samaria rather than on Jewish residents.
Gottlieb further praised Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, stating that if he had been Defense Minister, the military's high command would not have dared to act against the Prime Minister's directives. She highlighted Ben-Gvir's effectiveness in his current role, citing his efforts to improve conditions for Palestinian prisoners and his success in recruiting Haredi men into security forces. Gottlieb also emphasized the need for a strong Otzma Yehudit presence in the next government to secure soldiers' lives and prevent a "sleepy" centrist coalition.
In her remarks, Gottlieb also attacked former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, accusing him of advocating for a "small and smart" army, relinquishing tanks, supporting a Palestinian state, and consenting to Arab construction in Area C. She also criticized MK Mansour Abbas and former MK Eli Goldschmidt, condemning Abbas's political strategy and expressing disgust at Goldschmidt's appearance alongside Abbas, where Quranic verses were recited.
Gottlieb also condemned statements made by a senior Haredi Rabbi Lando, calling them old and unacceptable, and reiterated her commitment to protecting the land and its fighters. She expressed concern about a potential left-wing government, warning it could lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state and the closure of Channel 14.
