Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Wednesday that a plan he wrote in 2022 to weaken Iran, had it been implemented, would have increased the likelihood of toppling the regime. Bennett's claim, posted on social media, intensifies his ongoing critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Iran policy.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Wednesday posted on social media that a plan he drafted in 2022 to weaken Iran, had it been implemented, would have increased the likelihood of toppling the regime.
Earlier Wednesday, as The Zioneer reported at 11:05 Jerusalem, Bennett presented the document itself — a plan he wrote in January 2022 outlining dozens of overt and covert operational lines, including internet continuity technology for Iranian protesters. He accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of shelving the initiative.
Bennett's latest statement reiterates the same core argument without providing additional detail on the plan's contents. The claim is the latest in a series by Bennett criticizing Netanyahu's approach to Iran, including statements on Monday that Israel has a clear strategic plan to collapse the regime and that the countdown to regime change will begin only when Israel's government is replaced.
The post, which has no new document or evidence attached, is a restatement of Bennett's existing criticism. No official response from Netanyahu's office has been reported.
