In an opinion column in Ma'ariv, commentator Avi Ashkenazi warns about the conduct of the Shin Bet and its head, David Zini, in the days following the elections, which he says has turned the organization from a state body into a political one. The author praises the decision of the head of the Police Investigations Division, Superintendent Boaz Blet, not to transfer investigation materials to the Shin Bet without his approval, calling it 'serious, responsible, and appropriate.' He also addresses the letter from former defense establishment heads, the online discourse about right-wing and left-wing activists arriving at the Knesset, and assessments in Israel regarding Iran's intentions to stall for time in talks with Qatar until the new U.S. Congress is seated.
