Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was interviewed this evening (Saturday) on 'Meet the Press' and presented his plan to return to leading the country. He set the disarmament of Hamas as a condition for any withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and warned that Hamas now has more terrorists than on October 7. Bennett presented a plan to deny budgets to those who do not serve or work, and called for defining Qatar as an enemy state, claiming it is more dangerous than Iran. He attacked Smotrich as the 'architect of draft evasion' and expressed support for a union with Lapid. Regarding a partnership with Eisenkot, he said 'we will know how to work it out', but avoided recognizing him as a candidate for prime minister. Bennett proposed a constitution instead of a fight against the judicial system, and argued that sensitive cases should be given to people in the political center.
