Three Kulanu faction MKs who are also coalition members criticized the prime minister on Twitter for his attacks on the police.
MK Merav Ben-Ari said that "the problem isn't the police commissioner who you yourself chose, the problem is with you."
MK Roy Folkman tweeted: "How are tens of thousands of police supposed to feel with the continuous attacks on their work?", while MK Rahel Azaria wrote that " a red line has been crossed with the attack on the police and we won't allow this. Police are the basis for civilian security and rule of law. We must allow policemen to do their jobs faithfully."
