Bennett tells Gantz that Iran is reducing presence in Syria, but job must be finished
Passing the baton to Gantz, Bennett tells him not to let up in the campaign against Iran’s military presence in Syria.
“Though Iran has begun a process of withdrawal from Syria, the work needs to be completed. We’ve increased the number of attacks against Iranian forces and the Quds Force in Syria,” he says.
Bennett, who is now headed for the opposition, after being left out of the new government, adds: “We can’t let up on Iran for a moment. We must increase the diplomatic, economic, military and technological pressure and act in other dimensions.”
