Bennett says Israel now less defined by Mideast conflict, more by innovation
Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
Bennett stresses the importance of economic growth, even during a pandemic, saying Israel’s gross national income must reach $1 trillion.
He says that Israeli technology and innovation can help the world deal with various challenges, which helps the country build new partnerships.
Because of these relationships, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “is still there, but it defines us far less,” he says.
Bennett says his government has removed regulations and increased competition, which will allow the economy to leap forward.
