Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Monday that the countdown to regime change in Iran will begin only once Israel's government is replaced. Speaking at a press conference, Bennett asserted that Israel will soon elect a new, energetic, and determined leadership that will restore security, according to N12.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, now chairman of the Yahad party, held a press conference on Monday evening in which he tied the prospect of toppling the Iranian regime directly to a change of government in Israel. 'The stopwatch to replacing the regime in Iran will open the moment the government in Israel is replaced,' Bennett said, according to N12. He predicted that 'soon the people of Israel will elect a new, energetic, and determined leadership that will restore security to Israel.' The remarks come as Bennett positions himself as an alternative to the current government ahead of upcoming elections, and follow a series of recent statements in which he criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's Iran strategy and called for a more aggressive posture toward Tehran. The Zioneer has previously reported on Bennett's 'Octopus Doctrine' regarding Iran, as well as his repeated calls for a strategic plan to collapse the Iranian regime. The connection Bennett now draws between domestic political change and a timeline for regime change in Iran marks an escalation in his campaign rhetoric, directly framing the upcoming election as a choice that will determine Israel's ability to confront its primary strategic adversary.
