Former Prime Minister and current opposition leader Naftali Bennett issued a statement Sunday morning criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Bennett said Netanyahu is 'not evil' but must step down, pointing to his age — 'nearing 80' — and expressing a desire not to see him in prison. The remarks add to Bennett's ongoing campaign to position himself as an alternative to the current government. Bennett has been a vocal critic of the government's policies, including on security and the Haredi draft, and has previously stated he would do 'anything' to replace the 'very bad government.'
