Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett tells lawmaker Nissan Slomiansky that if sexual harassment allegations against him are true, he will have to resign, Israel Radio reports

Earlier today Slomiansky was named as the party member accused of sexual harassment in a Facebook post alleging multiple complaints against him.

The Jewish Home party stalwart denies allegations, says his “well-known loving nature may have been misinterpreted.”

But Bennett has reportedly professed a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment and has re-issued his call for anyone who may have been affected to come forward.
