After reaching 20th place in the primaries for the Likud list, Galit Distal Atabrian becomes the sixth minister in the Ministry of Information, the first woman in the ministry to return to action after being in a coma during the change government.
This is perhaps the reason that the new Minister still does not have an organized physical office.
"The propaganda war is first of all ignorance," she says in a special interview with "Israel this week", "because many young people in the world have no idea what is happening here and what the Palestinian leaders' attitude towards their people is."
She also said: "I want a progressive student in the US to be ashamed to say he is pro-Palestinian.
Let him understand that if he is in favor of LGBTQ and women's rights - this contradicts sympathy for the Palestinians."
On the legal reform: "A person who goes to the polls will return to decide what his life will look like."

What is the most difficult part of advocacy?
"When Israel's best journalists and politicians explain to the world that Israel wears Nazi uniforms and recalls dark processes, that Israel is moving between apartheid and genocide or is losing its democratic advantage. The picture here is complex, because I am not only dealing with anti-Semitism from the outside, but also with rejects from the inside, who want to set the club on fire because they don't control it."
You were criticized for your request to establish an internal information headquarters to promote the reform. Are you the propaganda minister?
"I have no interest in debating the government, on the contrary. The reform comes to create transparency. I want to present what is happening in every western country and what is happening in ours. To create public discussions in the digital arenas, Hyde Park. I want to release the propaganda, not create one."
For you, what does the legal reform mean?
"That the person who goes to the polls will return to decide what his life will look like. Because the panel of ten judges does not know better what is reasonable than the panel of nine million."
"An important resource with a tragic element."

You are not closing the justice system, you are reforming it. Why not reform the corporation?
"There is an important resource here with a tragic element, because from a television point of view they are excellent and there are professional people there. But they are racists. In the corporation, one of the slogans was social diversity. They took care of the diversity of all genders and sub-genders. The "only skunk who hates Netanyahu got representation there."
Are you motivated by personal revenge when you call for closure?
"No, I contribute from my experience. I was there, so I can tell. The closing sword was raised, and then I was quickly called to do things. As soon as the sword was removed - the bibist was removed with it. Why should it be different this time?"
Why is the representation of women low in Likud?
"Because the system is flawed. When you approach a man, you have to mark one woman, and then in construction you think - wait, which woman am I going to mark? Because there is an armored slot for women, the officer decides between the women and chooses one."
