Yiska Haimov, sister of Shin Bet chief David Zini and a candidate for the Noam L'Yisrael party, stated in a radio interview that the Jewish department within the Shin Bet should be closed. She made these remarks when asked about administrative orders and the handling of law violations by Jews in Judea and Samaria. Haimov believes that lawbreakers should be dealt with through the regular channels of the police and judicial system. She also addressed public criticism directed at her brother, the Shin Bet chief, stating that while she is not his spokesperson, she is familiar with his values and trusts the public to judge his actions over time rather than based on isolated quotes. Additionally, Haimov commented on the house arrest of her other brother, Bezalel, suggesting that public interest in his case stems from his familial connection to the Shin Bet head. After reviewing the investigation materials, she expressed conviction that any contributions he received were directly channeled to the war effort, asserting that "there was nothing and there will be nothing."
