In a post on Twitter, Chairman of the Democratic Camp, MK Nitzan Horowitz attacked the appointment of Kobi Eliraz, writing:
"The temporary defense minister with his three mandate party is going crazy: He appointed Kobi Eliraz, the settler's darling, to be in charge of Area C. This is like letting the cat keep the cream. Of course the state doesn't care, the only thing they they care about are the settlements. What do they care about the Jewish and democratic nature of the state, the main thing is annexation. That's where it will go, if we don't stop them."
