Yiska Haimov, sister of Shin Bet chief and a candidate for the Noam party, stated on Kol Barama radio that the "Jewish department in the Shin Bet needs to be closed, and it will be." Haimov's remarks come amid her brother's recent directives to intensify the fight against Jewish terrorism. In recent weeks, the Shin Bet chief instructed the Shin Bet's operations unit, which targets major terror threats in Gaza and Judea and Samaria, to handle extremist Jewish elements in Judea and Samaria. Earlier this week, the Shin Bet chief asserted that if the Shin Bet cannot counter violent Jewish suspects in Judea and Samaria through other means, he would demand the reinstatement of administrative detentions against them. These statements emerged during a sharp confrontation between the Shin Bet chief and Minister of Settlement Affairs Orit Strock. Strock claimed that Palestinians are attacking shepherds and settlers, and that the security establishment presents a one-sided view. The Shin Bet chief countered that Palestinians are not burning Jewish homes and called for clear condemnations of Jewish violence. Haimov previously served as CEO of the religious community settlements Einav and Shavei Shomron, chairwoman of Kiryat Netafim, chairwoman of the Samaria Secretaries Forum, and director of the Kfar Noar Mitzpe Israel boarding school. She holds a master's degree in organizational consulting and joined the Noam party's Knesset list last August.
