Israel’s new prime minister, Naftali Bennett, is no different from his predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, in legal matters, but wants to make himself a politician at his next meeting with President Biden at the White House later this week. New York Times reports after a brief interview.
Like Netanyahu, Bennett does not agree with the United States to re-establish a nuclear deal with Iran (the enemy of Israel), seeks to expand territories in the West Bank, and does not support the US idea of re-establishing a Palestinian ambassador to Jerusalem, the Time notes.
That said, Bennett hopes to re-establish ties between Israel and the US, which are sometimes in vain, especially when Netanyahu was dealing with Obama’s administration. “I call it good government,” Bennett said adauza a Time. “There’s another area here – coming up with new solutions, being more realistic, more thoughtful, and more tolerant of your peers.”
