Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett recently shared his perspective on the current situation in Israel, particularly in response to a member of the War Cabinet, Benny Gantz's ultimatum to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Gantz has called for a formal plan for a post-war Gaza within a few weeks.
When asked about his confidence in the Netanyahu government, Bennett expressed his support for the government's policies on national media. He emphasized the need for decisive action, stating that he believed Israel should have taken over Rafah and destroyed Hamas months ago. Bennett criticized what he perceived as delays in addressing the situation, advocating for swift and resolute measures.
Despite his concerns about the pace of action, Bennett underscored the unity of the country in supporting what he described as 'the most just war in Israel's history.' He highlighted the existential threat posed by Hamas, characterizing the group as a genocidal and jihadi regime that must be eliminated.
Bennett's remarks reflect a sense of urgency and a call for decisive action in dealing with the ongoing conflict. While expressing his belief that more could have been done sooner, he reiterated the necessity of confronting the threat posed by Hamas and ensuring the security of Israel.
