MK Gideon Sa'ar (National Unity), the former Minister of Justice, criticized the government in an interview with Army Radio.

"The masks have been removed. Yesterday's cabinet meeting was more like a mafia meeting, this is a prelude to a planned move that Netanyahu himself is leading to remove the Attorney General," Sa'ar said, adding: "An attempt to harness the law enforcement system to suppress the public protest was openly revealed at yesterday's cabinet meeting - which the majority of the Israeli public supports ".
