"I was among the supporters of entering the talks, those who were in the talks explained that we are excluded from them and there is no transparency and proposals are accepted without our knowing that they were even put on the table and a decision was made to leave. I personally think that was less true," she said in an interview with the "Aviv Mitver" podcast of the public relations and strategy expert Spring Agiv.

"I think this is not true because the Labor Party is the best gatekeeper there is, trusts our representatives MK Gilad Karib who was the chairman of the Constitution Committee and MK Efrat Raitna from the legal world and was on the committee that elected the most diverse judges in recent years, I trust them to be there, two expert lawyers, experts in constitutional law,

"I really appreciate my fellow faction members from a place of gatekeepers who say until now either what will happen or what won't, I would like them in this room, I trust them more than others and therefore regret that we left perhaps too soon and it is a mistake that the Labor Party is not there to protect democracy", concluded
