Report: Ministers warned away from Trump figures after Bennett tried to meet Bannon
The Haaretz daily, citing a senior source, reports that ministers were told they could not meet with Trump administration figures after some “some unauthorized persons” tried to meet with “senior members of the new administration.”
The paper reports that one of the ministers who tried may have been Education Minister Naftali Bennett, who is currently in New York. On Sunday, Bennett spoke at a ZOA gala where top Trump aide Stephen Bannon was supposed to appear.
However, Bannon did not end up showing.
