As Naftali Bennett prepares to end his one-year stint as prime minister, he gave a series of interviews to the media on Motzei Shabbos.
In an interview with Channel 12 News, Bennett said: “A completely right-wing government in the current sense is a disaster in my opinion because there are no balances.”
The statement caused an immediate uproar, even among those who have ceased to be surprised by Bennett’s transformation from an ardent right-winger to a tool of the left and Yair Lapid.
“Who would have believed that the con man, who in the past served as the head of the Yesha [Yehudah and Shomron] council, the man who pushed the word ‘right’ into every scam he launched – ‘New Right,’ ‘Yamina,’ – would say that a ‘right-wing government is a disaster?'” one social media user wrote. “Go home! Go!”
“This is the man who used us to build an entire career based on a completely right-wing government,” stated Channel 14 News journalist Yinon Magal. “Unreal.”

Disappointed in YWN.
You’re not lying but you’re manipulating the news to suit your own agenda.
Surely you give your readers credit for having the brains to know you can’t judge what a person said based on a five second sound bite taken out of a whole conversation.
Barbarian traitor !
He should be put in trial for treson
Hpw will Bennett explain his see-saw right-left transitioning to his children?
Certainly less of a disaster than his current government of change and danger.
Balance?! Why would we want balance between good and evil?!!
YWN, well , you really need a lesson on being a news element and one that is jewish….as far as right wing and Bennett , he is clawing his filth to a public that doesn’t exist….for now I would examine his life and his business transactions and the horror his dollars can do….I do not bless this man nor his family for this comment….well, we Israeli’s know how to handle,
presumably he is leaving politics and moving into some activist or lobbying field where this clip will be helpful to him in getting support from leftists, otherwise really makes no sense that he would say this
