Coalition Chairman Ofir Katz called for defying Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's directive, which determined that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must refrain from appointing a new Shin Bet chief following the High Court ruling. 'I've never seen such swift preparation of a legal opinion, as if she knew the outcome in advance,' he stated. 'Do not listen to the Attorney General's directive, do not play with Israel's security, make the appointment now.'
