Shi Maimon, a former right-wing activist who was a candidate on the Yamina list and resigned before the formation of the "change government," has published an open letter to former Justice and Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked. In the letter, Maimon urges Shaked to publicly oppose her former political partner, Naftali Bennett.
Maimon stated that Bennett's recent remarks against judicial reforms and changes in the justice system are the reason for his appeal. He claims Bennett is opposing everything Shaked fought for during her tenure as Justice Minister, suggesting Bennett is trying to gain votes from the left by vowing to cancel steps taken regarding the judiciary. Maimon interprets Bennett's statements as implying Shaked's work was insignificant and her battles, particularly in the Judicial Appointments Committee, were pointless.
The activist also touched upon Shaked's alleged regret over joining the previous government, which he described as a "mistake" and a "delusional move" orchestrated by Bennett. Maimon believes Shaked was "dragged" into it and now has an opportunity to publicly speak out against Bennett's actions and his attempt to halt the "just struggle for a fair justice system."
Maimon concluded by calling on Shaked to return to the right-wing camp and help it win upcoming elections. He suggested that a clear statement against voting for Bennett and the left could be the "beginning of the way home" for her, urging her to seize the opportunity to take responsibility and help the right-wing win a crucial election.
