Opposition leader Naftali Bennett said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara are spreading a 'sick, false and dangerous conspiracy' against IDF and Shin Bet commanders and against MK Yair Golan. Bennett also stated that Netanyahu failed and bears direct responsibility for the October 7 massacre.
Opposition leader Naftali Bennett on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara of spreading a 'sick, false and dangerous conspiracy' targeting IDF and Shin Bet commanders as well as MK Yair Golan. Bennett also asserted that Netanyahu bears direct responsibility for the October 7, 2023 massacre, stating that the prime minister 'failed.' The remarks were reported by Israeli media. Bennett, a former prime minister, has been a vocal critic of Netanyahu's leadership throughout the war. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Bennett accused Netanyahu in June of politicizing the October 7 inquiry committee appointments, and in August he charged that Netanyahu had lost connection to Israel's security and disrespects those who serve in the IDF. The latest statement adds to the ongoing political confrontation between the two figures as Israel continues to face security challenges on multiple fronts.
