With regard to the judicial reform, he said, "There is no danger to Israeli democracy. Israeli democracy is stable and strong, it is the only democracy in the Middle East and I suggest that no one preach to me, the prime minister, or anyone from the coalition about democracy.
"We know that there were elections and this is the will of the people, this is real democracy. The prime minister's policy is to bring the judicial reform to the Knesset with overwhelming agreement and I hope we can end the summer session of the Knesset peacefully."
When asked whether a partnership between the US and Israel in high-tech was on the horizon, Akunis replied, "The alliance with the US is very strong in matters of security in space, etc. Since 2020 it has been illegal to ban products from Judea and Samaria. I spoke with the CEO of Nass." And everyone is interested in Israeli innovation."
