Bennett calls Trump ‘once-in-50-years’ chance
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEducation Minister Naftali Bennett uses his Jewish Home faction meeting to urge Netanyahu to take action on annexing settlements, calling the presidency of Donald Trump a “once-in 50-years opportunity.”
“We give the prime minister full backing to act with courage and determination,” he says. “There is a view that holds that we need to continue to maneuver and defend ourselves. We think we should initiate and act.”
Bennett also backs releasing a report on failings in the lead-up to the Gaza War, saying the cabinet should take its findings seriously.
“I was there, the cabinet has what to improve,” he says.
