MK Merav Michaeli from the Labor Party responded to the report that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will apologize for the timing of the statement in which he called for a halt to the legislation of the judicial reform, and will thus retain his position.

"If there is anyone who should apologize for his irresponsible conduct in the event of the dismissal of the Minister of Defense - his name is Benjamin Netanyahu, not Yoav Gallant. I call on Gallant to maintain a moral backbone and not to apologize for demanding to maintain the security of the country. By the way, the timing of the speech was perfect," said Michaeli.
