Yashar Chairman Gadi Eisenkot issued a statement in light of reports that Shin Bet chief David Zini requested to investigate Arab lawmakers without presenting evidence: 'Officials of Israel's security system, law enforcement and public service are servants of the realm, not the king. Woe to those who corrupt their authority and role for political considerations.' He attacked Netanyahu and said that 'in their distress, Likud and Netanyahu are trying to carry out a pogrom against democracy and the rule of law. They are trying to drag us all into a dangerous constitutional crisis.'
