Bennett: Extremists on left, right trying to destroy Israel

Education Minister Naftali Bennett says extremists on the left and the right are want to “burn our house over our heads.”

The Jewish Home leader says the political map in Israel has undergone changes and there is now a desperate form of extremism amongst optimistic Zionism.

“Why did they do the Duma [firebomb attack]? The goal was not murder, that’s just the means. They do not recognize the State of Israel, and have despaired of convincing the people of Israel of their position,” Bennett says. “So they are trying to burn our house over our heads.”
