Bennett slams Herzog at Rabin ceremony

Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett criticized opposition leader Isaac Herzog during a Knesset ceremony to commemorate 21 years since the assassination of slain prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.

“What you are doing here is the opposite of leadership. Because here in this house we can disagree and we are supposed to disagree, but what you are trying to do is put the blame for the assassination on half of the population of Israel,” Bennett says in a stormy speech that was frequently interrupted by hecklers.

Earlier, Herzog blamed the right-wing parties for the incitement against Rabin that he said led to his assassination by a Jewish extremist.
