Bennett backs Netanyahu over Jordan, Temple Mount

Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett is backing his sometimes rival Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the crises with Jordan and over the Temple Mount.

“The government of Israel is acting with responsibility, unity and thoughtfulness in the face of a complicated diplomatic and security situation,” Bennett tells his party at a faction meeting at Knesset.
