During a broadcast on Channel 14's program The Patriots, panelist Yotam Zamri sharply criticized the Israeli Supreme Court following its issuance of a conditional injunction against the temporary law permitting detention of yeshiva students. Zamri described the court as a "pig that is never satisfied," accusing it of acting with political motives ahead of the upcoming elections to maintain chaos and influence voter behavior.

Zamri emphasized that the law in question is a temporary measure valid for only three months until the elections, and that the Knesset had thoroughly debated it. He expressed frustration that the court refuses to "release even this small rope," suggesting the court's actions are excessive and politically driven.

He proposed two possible reasons for the court's conduct: first, to preserve the ongoing turmoil and keep the ultra-Orthodox community in the spotlight until the elections, similar to accusations made against the Attorney General; second, to intimidate the ultra-Orthodox from voting by creating an atmosphere of mass arrests that would deter them from going to the polls.

Zamri concluded that after the elections, the public will effectively hold a referendum on whether they support mass arrests or the government's proposed law. He accused the Supreme Court of attempting to disrupt the elections by fostering fear among the ultra-Orthodox that police will be waiting to arrest them at the voting stations.
