Government members attacked Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara following her legal opinion regarding the appointment of the Shin Bet chief. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi claimed that "trying to prevent the Prime Minister from appointing a Shin Bet chief during wartime is a threat to national security - she should face consequences immediately after her dismissal. David Zini must be appointed, whether they like it or not." Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu wrote on his X account: "The chief PR agent in Kaplan's puppet show strikes again for who knows how many times. It's time for her to hand over the keys." Education Minister Yoav Kish stated that the Attorney General is "a political player whose sole purpose is to bring down the government."
