Major Gil Weissman said: “As the one who gave you solo as a fighter pilot, I call on you to be honest, trustworthy to the democratic and liberal state of Israel. You have a chance to correct direction, this is the last chance. Your children will not forgive you if you do not take this opportunity and restore our liberal democracy.’
Major in response Shira Ating: “You have the slowness and responsibility that fell on your part, you are among the only ministers in this government who have the power to oppose this reform.”
