Leader of the Labor Party Merav Michaeli MK commented:
"Smotrich's fiasco regarding the overthrow of the judiciary is insane. All the senior officials warned him of the damage to the economy, to everyone's pocket. But messianic delusions and the desire for revenge against the Supreme Court because of the conduct of the settlers in the territories trumped any rational thought."
"This is not a finance minister who was caught in a crisis, it's a finance minister who is one of the creators of the crisis. The worst finance minister in the history of our country."
