Yaki Edmeker Defends Shin Bet Chief Zini Amid Left-Wing Criticism Over Kippah
During a broadcast on Channel 14's program The Patriots, commentator Yaki Edmeker addressed the left-wing criticism targeting Shin Bet chief David Zini. Edmeker argued that the attacks are politically and personally motivated, focusing on Zini's wearing of a kippah and his appointment by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He described Zini's appointment as a positive one intended to serve the country effectively.
Edmeker emphasized that the ongoing criticism is proof that certain groups will continue to pursue Zini because of his religious symbol and political backing. He stated, "This is proof that they will continue to chase Zini because he wears a kippah, because Prime Minister Netanyahu brought him and chose him for the position, and they cannot accept that this is a good appointment." He further praised Zini's role, saying, "Finally, someone who came to the Shin Bet to do good."
