“I plan to continue as justice minister for another four years until I finish the revolution which I started,” Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked said Thursday, as political figures called for her resignation in the fallout of the Efi Nave Affair.
Speaking from a conference about Jewish Law in Jerusalem, she said, “In recent days, there has been an unrestrained false attack of incitement against me including false and fabricated accusations,” she said.
“The left-wing political attacks will not weaken me. I plan to continue as justice minister for another four years until I finish the revolution which I started,” Shaked claimed. “But the most disappointing attack of all is the attack of left-wing MKs. Those who I have worked with directly and fairly in the Knesset.”
The justice minister stated, “They know me well. We disagree ideologically, but I saw them as work friends. They are all women. And this is what disappointed me. They have exploited this affair to make an ugly and personal political campaign against me.”
Nave has served as the president of the Israel Bar Association and a close political ally of Shaked in selecting the country’s judges until he was accused on Wednesday of a sex for judgeships bribery scandal.disappointed me. They have exploited this affair to make an ugly and personal political campaign against me.”
Meretz Chairwoman Tamar Zandberg called Shaked’s statement a “temper tantrum.”
“The temper tantrum of Shaked and the attempt to cry out ‘left-wing left-wing’ will not clean up the corruption,” she said, “It seems again that the New Right is just the old and corrupt.”
