The organizations protesting the judicial reform commented on Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's speech.
"It seems that someone is under hysterical pressure and is losing his temper. Since Smotrich's entry into the Ministry of Finance, money is fleeing the country, the economy is collapsing, he is absent from meetings and busying himself with tin-can buildings on hills. He is trying to incite and further tear the people apart instead of withdrawing the legislation and reaching broad agreements. This Hilltop Youth man is now trying to set fire to not only to Ayalon Highway, but the entire country," said the protest organizations.
