The leader of the Yamina Party speaks from heart and head on Aliyah, Iran, COVID-19, and sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.
Former Defense Minister and leader of the Yamina Party Naftali Bennett joins Eve Harow for a wide ranging, frank conversation.
He speaks from heart and head on Aliyah, Iran, COVID-19, Sovereignty in Judea and Samaria – sans a Palestinian state – hi-tech, Shabbat and more.
MK Bennett is busy in the opposition, continuing to apply his formidable skills and vast experience in many spheres to build and secure Israel’s future as a vibrant, stable, creative and successful Jewish state in the fullest meaning of the term.
Israpundit is entirely dependent on readers support. Please help me continue educating people with the truth about what is going on in Israel and around the world.
Hope to see Naftali Bennett back in the action!
Bennet and his formidable skills ? Are you kidding ? The math and history will answer :
The guy is impatient , arrogant because rich , and has no political flair .
Also he follows the same behavior of the Dati-Leumi parties as usual : false start alliances and ongoing fractional-splinter.
1999 Mafdal ( 5 seats ) and national Union ( 4 seats ) were separate .
2003 – after the intifada shock – Mafdal ( 6 ) National Union (7 ) were stronger but still kept apart .13 was the maximum mandates the maximalist camp ever received .
2006 a lower result : 9 mandates to the 2 lists .
2009 lower results : 7 mandates Jewish Home 3 – National Union 4
2013 best result ever by Jewish Home 12 mandates , impressive leap + 9 seats.
2015 Jewish Home back to 8 .
April 2019 : Jewish home 5 seats
September 2019 : Yamina ( former Jewish Home ) 7 seats .
And Bennet refuses to enter the government …smart indeed ? As long as Bibi is a the helm , Bennet is a side cake . When Bibi will be gone , Bennet’s nature will appear : an inflated featherweight , lot of air , lot of speech , unable to convince the center right .
Great interview!
