In a post on Twitter, Co-Chairwoman of the New Right Party, MK Ayelet Shaked responded to Chairman of the Democratic Party, MK Nitzan Horowitz's attack on the appointment of Kobi Eliraz, writing:
"We care about the state, we care about being Jewish and Democratic, we care about the settlement and yes, we want to apply sovereignty over Area C and not let Abbas rule there. In short, we care !!! And you certainly won't stop us. Kobe Eliraz did and is doing a great job, don't interrupt."
