MK Nissim Vaturi (Likud) issued a direct message to opposition leader Naftali Bennett, questioning his ability to lead given what Vaturi described as a fear of tweeting about the American position, according to the politician's own statement.
MK Nissim Vaturi (Likud) criticized opposition leader Naftali Bennett in a social-media post Tuesday, asking how Bennett could 'save the people of Israel' if he 'fears the Americans and does not tweet.' The remark follows a broader political debate over Israel's relationship with the US amid ongoing tensions with Iran. The Zioneer previously reported that the US warned Iran it could not restrain Prime Minister Netanyahu if Tehran attacked Israel, a background that colors Vaturi's jab. The exchange is a domestic political comment rather than a new policy development, and no further context from Bennett's camp has been reported.
