Yiska Haimov, sister of Shin Bet chief David Zini and a candidate for the Noam party, has called for the closure of the Shin Bet's Jewish Department. Her statement comes after Zini ordered an increase in operations against the "hard core" of Jewish terrorism in the West Bank. Haimov's remarks were made during a family interview, reportedly causing embarrassment to her brother.
Security officials estimate that approximately 200 individuals constitute the hard core of Jewish terrorists operating from outposts in the West Bank, with several dozen more youths involved in nationalist violence and criminal acts. During a discussion, Knesset member Orit Struk reportedly told Zini that Palestinians attack and endanger shepherds, urging him to address these incidents as well.
Zini responded to Struk by stating that Palestinians do not burn Jewish homes and that she was disconnected from reality. He emphasized the need for condemnations from all leadership, arguing that such actions harm settlement and security. When questioned about her condemnations, Struk claimed she had denounced such acts on various radio stations.
In response to the increased security focus, slogans against David Zini were written during right-wing activist activities in two West Bank villages. Zini is reportedly considering demanding the return of administrative detention measures.
