Bennett calls Netanyahu ‘childish’ for school mosque visit criticism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEducation Minister Naftali Bennett on Monday dismisses criticism of him by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, deriding the PM’s comments as “a little childish.”
The education minister says that every time he expresses his opposition to Netanyahu’s diplomacy, the prime minister attacks him and accuses him of being left-wing, among other things.
He refers to a Likud statement on Saturday that implied the education minister has sent Jewish schoolchildren to convert to Islam after footage emerged of Israeli students on a class trip to a mosque bowing inside the building.
“Come on, really?” Bennett says incredulously.
