Minister of the Interior Ayelet Shaked has responded to accusations made by Religious Zionism leader Bezalel Smotrich..

"How are you not ashamed of yourself? For three weeks now we have been begging you to support the temporary law as it is. Until yesterday afternoon I still believed you were blustering. If you truly want to support the extension of the current law, then bring the rest of the opposition with you, without arguments or preconditions. There is no time for that."
