Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi commented on President Isaac Herzog's speech to the nation regarding the planned judicial reforms:

"During the time of the fraudulent government, when the laws of the living God were insulted and blasphemed, I did not hear anyone offer a compromise. When they persecuted Torah scholars, when they trampled on the religious Jews wherever they were, the tradition, the Zionism, there was no call for dialogue. Hypocrisy is the name of the game and we have long since finished participating in it. We will continue with the reforms with all our might", Karhi said.
