In contrast to opposition Leader Tzipi Livni, a former Justice Minister who said, “Everyone must be concerned about this,” Member of Hershkowitz said, "Nobody has a reason to be concerned about Minister Ne'eman, whose personality blends religious values with pluralism, but one must worry about a justice system that does not today loyally represent the spectrum of views of the people of Israel."
