Since the election, David Zini has demonstrated himself to be a "dark racist, anti-democrat, and a tool in the hands of the government." The article argues that given his "unrestrained conduct," the first task of a "change government" must be to remove him from his position.
While the path to establishing a "change government 2.0" is described as long and difficult, the author proposes that if such a government is formed, its first resolution should be the dismissal of the Shin Bet chief. The piece asserts that "every moment David Zini sits in the chief's office is a clear and immediate danger to Israeli democracy," stating that the country's democracy has not been challenged in this way throughout its existence.
