"I don't want to say 'I told you so,' but I told you so," she began. "I see from afar, thank God. I'm just telling you that I don't intend and never intended to play the political game in its usual way. If I see something, I'll say it. "I said it five months ago - Netanyahu decided that reform is dead, it's not on the table. You got a thousand hints about it by sending Ron Dermer to Aharon Barak, no less, no more, who is undermining us and helping the Supreme Court exceed its authority and interfere with basic laws, and what not. "What bothers me about Netanyahu, as I said at the leaked faction meeting, is stop lying to the public. Netanyahu is allowed as prime minister to consider broad considerations and decide 'no reform, period', go out to the public and say it. The public trusts you and if you decide that way, you can argue about it." Regarding the compromise proposal, she said: "As far as I'm concerned, there's no need for anything, if agreement is fundamental to everything. I don't remember whether I had to agree with the opposition or whether the coalition at the time brought me the gas agreement even for the election. But I say, what's happening here is nothing. This is not reform and nothing. The days when Netanyahu totally dictates everything are over, it's over. "I say this with sadness and regret and it hurts me for the right-wing protesters and right-wing activists who threw sand in their eyes and told them: 'Come to the million-strong demonstration, come to a demonstration like this,' when it was clear to me that reform was not on the table. And so I'm telling you here, and I've said it enough, it won't happen, the reform won't progress, whether there is agreement or not." At the same time, she claimed: "I don't intend to do anything. This legislation is nothing. If they want to ask me, for example, for a majority of seven out of nine to appoint judges, there's no problem, happily, because it helps the coalition. After Netanyahu and Deri led the way in which Karin Elharar was elected." As for the coalition's proposal to freeze legislation for six months, she said: "This is what happens when lawyers are not great, without being condescending, I'm just clarifying - it's impossible to enact a Basic Law and not enact something for a year and a half because that's exactly the left's claim, that we are using, or God forbid, Knesset members may use the title of 'Basic Law' for legislation that is not a Basic Law. There's no need to enact legislation on it, we simply declare it and that's it. "I believe Netanyahu, I've told you several times, Netanyahu is an excellent statesman, he's an excellent economist - he can't touch the judicial system, he doesn't understand it, he doesn't understand the power of the hidden control of the judicial system, he's also afraid of it. He's been hurt by the system a lot, he's been persecuted by the system, and so I understand why he can't deal with it. The reform isn't there, by the way, nothing will be advanced here, certainly there's no need to enact something that states that no law will be enacted for a year and a half, when Netanyahu doesn't want to enact anything," she said firmly. When she was told that she's in the Knesset thanks to Netanyahu, she replied: "Absolutely not. Netanyahu, by the way, among other things, thank you very much for cutting me short on a presidential decision, but who voted for me is nobody's business. 10,890 voted for me and jumped me to the first lady slot ahead of other women who ran in the primaries. And by the way, Netanyahu, let him not forget, three years that I devoted nights and days to changing public opinion and proving malicious political persecution in his trial." "I want to clarify the following thing - Netanyahu is playing on Yariv Levin's head, and I say this with great regret. He discovered that there is a situation in which the right-wing base sees him as a potential successor, and therefore all you see here is an attempt to weaken Yariv Levin. To weaken his power, very simply. Now you see why I don't play the political game? Whoever is suitable to lead should lead, and these things should be said. And I say again and again, ideology, values, and truth are not dirty words. The right is allowed to expect right-wing governance, it's a shame they didn't listen to my voice." At the end of the interview, she said: "I'm not looking for people to like me, I'm on borrowed time, committed to the truth, committed to my values, to ideology, as long as I'm in the Knesset. Whoever decides that I'm suitable for Likud and the trust of the young men is the voters. I don't have a single order in Likud. "The Likud Party is not a centrist party, I belong to a right-wing party, I always will be. And I am committed and dedicated to one thing only, and that is the people of Israel. An elected official is on borrowed time, he should remember that.".\r\n\r\n
