Blum hosts senior officials for a behind-the-scenes conversation on Israel's security podcast "Highly Classified" and this week Ayelet Shaked, former justice minister and head of the Jewish Home party alongside Bennett. Today, Shaked heads a successful real estate company, gives lectures to Jewish communities and mainly "makes fun".
"Even though Shaked is no longer at the center of Israeli politics, the sense of mission still lives within her, "When I'm in the sand, I always try to speak for the good of the country, explain the good sides, explain that democracy in Israel isn't really not being destroyed," Shaked explains. Referring to Iran, Shaked clarifies that "we must do everything in our power to prevent Iran from transferring advanced weapons to both Syria and Hezbollah" and still as a bystander, Shaked is not satisfied with the decisions of recent governments: "I see that the last three governments are very cautious, and are doing everything in their power not to annoy Hezbollah, and it infuriates me personally."

Regarding the reduction of the reasonableness grounds, Shaked predicted what was happening and still does not see it as significant: "People need to understand that Netanyahu is doing this in order to give something, to throw a bone at his coalition. In the end, the one who has to determine whether something is reasonable or not on a question of values is the Knesset, and when the court wants to intervene, it has so many grounds: it has proportionality, it has conflicts of interest, it has extraneous considerations, and it has a lack of authority, and there is judicial silence, they can also invent grounds, and I also tell you that they will now expand the grounds of proportionality, their power to criticize."
