Bennett hails nixing of UN deal; opposition slams ‘weak” Netanyahu
Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett hails Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to walk away from the migrant resettlement deal with the UN refugee agency as a “wise decision.”
“Now we must work to remove the illegal infiltrators [from the country],” he says in a statement.
From the opposition, Labor party leader Avi Gabbay slams the U-turn as a reflective of the Israeli leader’s “lack of leadership, cowardice, incitement against groups, empty slogans, inability to make decisions, and zero ability to implement.”
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog says Netanyahu’s backtracking underlines his “weakness and hysteria.”
