Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett held a press conference Monday evening, delivering a sweeping critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's current term — stating it began 'with a civil war, continued with the Oct. 7 massacre, and ends in failure against Iran.' Asked what he would have done differently, Bennett replied: 'Everything.'
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Monday evening held a press conference in which he delivered his sharpest public critique yet of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's current term. According to Bennett's statement, the term 'began with a civil war, continued with the October 7 massacre, and ends with a failure against Iran.' Asked what he would have done differently, Bennett replied: 'Everything.'
As The Zioneer reported at 20:36, Bennett's remarks follow an earlier statement circulated on his channel in identical language. The press conference appears to mark a formal escalation of Bennett's campaign against the Netanyahu government, which he has previously described as incapable of decision-making on the Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran fronts.
Bennett also argued earlier Monday that a change in Israeli leadership would be the trigger for a serious campaign against the Iranian regime — calling it the moment 'the stopwatch to toppling the regime will start.' The current event, however, focuses on the domestic political critique rather than a foreign-policy prescription.
