Former prime minister Naftali Bennett broke his silence on the Trump peace initiative, calling it “a difficult but necessary step.” Bennett criticized the Netanyahu government for failing to defeat Hamas or return hostages, saying the burden on Israeli families has become “too heavy to bear.”
In a heartfelt message, Bennett thanked Trump as “a true friend to Israel and the Jewish nation,” while emphasizing that this chapter of war must close with “unity and rebuilding.” He also called for a state inquiry into the failures surrounding October 7.
With Israeli politics shifting, Bennett appears poised for a comeback, offering Israelis a message of strength and renewal: that Israel can emerge from this war not weakened, but more united than before.
