“Zero leadership. Zero governance. Dina Zilber is the real prime minister,” Smotrich — the transportation minister and a member of Netanyahu’s security cabinet — writes on Twitter, referring to the deputy attorney general who has been accused by right-wing politicians of pushing a progressive and activist agenda on the justice system.
