Shikma Bressler, Moshe Radman, Yaya Fink and Ami Dror, leaders of the protests, responded to reports that National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir plans to implement his police policy document against protests within five days. "In order to continue abandoning hostages in a deceptive war against the will of the people, Ben Gvir, Smotrich and Netanyahu must also dismantle democracy," they stated. "The hostages, IDF soldiers and Israeli citizens don't matter to them. They are willing to sacrifice all of us on the path to unlimited power and fulfillment of their Kahanist agenda, but the public in Israel will not let them. There is no way to stand against the will of the people."
