Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett continues to present Israel's position on foreign television networks. Bennett referred to Saturday night's missile attack and said that he is currently working to harness the American leadership to support retaliatory action against Iran.
"I see that the American administration is embracing us by saying: "You have already won a great victory, there is no need for a reaction," Bennett said.
"[On Saturday night], Israel's defense systems and regional alliances recorded an impressive achievement," he continued. "But defensive interceptions in of themselves do not lead to victory and do not deter enemies in the future. This requires a sophisticated, surprising, and painful response with precise timing."
Regarding his activities over the past months, Bennett says: "My goal is to harness the American public and its elected officials in favor of the continuation of the Israeli campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies: Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah."
