Netanyahu: Bennett is taking Israel in a dangerous direction.
Criticizing his successor policies, the former Israeli prime minister claimed that Iran was an existential threat.
Opposition leader and former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday criticized Naftali Bennett’s cabinet, warning that the current cabinet is leading Israel in a dangerous direction.
According to the website Aroutes Shoa, Netanyahu accused his successor, Naftali Bennett, of wasting time on the progress made by the previous government in fighting the Corona virus epidemic on Monday afternoon.
Netanyahu claimed: “My job and life has been to defend and protect the existence of Israel. For the past few weeks, I have been able to sleep through the night without waking up to a red phone. But I wake up in the morning worried because the current government is leading Israel in a dangerous direction. “They are failing in every way, and you can see that in the fight against the coronavirus.”
“We reduced the corona to almost zero,” he continued. We ordered millions of extra doses of the vaccine to give people the third dose if the effect of the second dose diminished. All they had to do was call for the doses that had been prepared. “But this is not what Bennett did.”
“We also face the threat of Iran’s existence,” Netanyahu, who is still keen to speak out, said of Iran. But in his first week in office, rotating Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid announces a no-surprise policy toward Iran. “Do you know how many US governments have called for such a policy, but I never agreed.”
Meanwhile, Israeli Justice Minister Gideon Saer has reiterated his decision to present a plan in the Knesset to prevent Netanyahu from running for prime minister again.
Saer, who also chairs the New Hope party, told lawmakers that Netanyahu’s allies also support a plan to block his re-election. “Even now, there is no reason why the Knesset should not disobey the majority of citizens,” he said, pointing to Netanyahu’s signature on an old Likud bill to prevent Ehud Olmert from running for prime minister on corruption charges.
The Minister of Justice of the Zionist regime, in response to some comments about the personal nature of the tendencies behind this plan, explained: “This plan is not personal. Opposition to this plan is personal. Everything was overshadowed by the personal interests of a particular person. “Israel should not be in the same situation again.”
Israeli War Minister and leader of the Blue and White Party Benny Gantz also told reporters that the Blue and White Party was also interested in supporting the plan.
