Minister of Communications Shlomo Karhi has issued sharp criticism against the judicial system, the Attorney General, and the center-left bloc. In an interview with Radio North 104.5FM, Karhi claimed that the Left understands it has no chance in elections and therefore 'wants anarchy.' According to him, 'there are those who want anarchy, who understand that the people are not with them, that democracy is not playing into their hands, and that they have no chance at the ballot box, unless they form a government with Mansour Abbas and Tibi.'

Karhi addressed the security situation and the hostages, claiming that Israel acts as a 'bargaining chip in the hands of Hamas.' He emphasized that 'we must not let them continue to do what they are doing to the people of Israel for another year, two years, or ten years.' The minister warned against a decrease in voter turnout among right-wing voters and emphasized the importance of a strong right-wing government that 'will prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.'

Regarding the judicial system, Karhi attacked the Supreme Court and its president, claiming that 'the Attorney General continues to act in violation of the law, and the High Court of Justice is a criminal that overturns laws.' He argued that the court has become a 'supreme authority that cancels laws, strikes down Basic Laws, replaces the government, holds the Knesset in contempt, and tramples on the people.' Karhi criticized High Court rulings regarding appointments and stated, 'If Netanyahu is bad for the enemies of Israel, then he is good for the Jews.'

Minister Karhi also addressed the issue of Haredi conscription into the IDF, arguing that 'it cannot be that minorities who have not served receive preference over soldiers who serve in the army.' He expressed doubt that a future government led by Mansour Abbas would continue to provide preferences for soldiers. Karhi warned that if the Left takes power, 'they will do damage here in one day—what we have been fixing for four years.' He called on the public to go out and vote, emphasizing that 'if the Right voted like the Left, we would not have 64 seats in the coalition, but 70 seats.' He added that 'there is a part of the propaganda machine that tries to suppress voting and tell the Right that they have no chance.'
