Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Yuli Edelstein opposes the potential termination of the head of the Shin Bet security agency and calls for a state commission of inquiry into October 7. Edelstein believes the Shin Bet is doing its job faithfully and that the head of the agency should finish his term. He also criticizes the lack of dialogue and discourse regarding necessary changes in the judicial system. Protesters at the conference hold up a banner urging Edelstein not to support an evasion law.
