Amid reports the Shin Bet has significantly stepped up security for Bayit Yehudi party leader Minister Naftali Bennet, Otzma Yisrael leader Baruch Marzel refers to the situation as “nothing more than Bennet’s media spin”.

Marzel explains the reports of threats from right-wing Jews against Bennet is nothing more than an effort to delegitimize the ongoing battle to save Amona. “We are not disappointed with Bennet because we did not have expectations. Therefore, no one will harm him. The only ones angry with him are his supporters who he disappointed with his lack of abilities to save a yishuv that may be destroyed but I do hope these people will harm Bennet at the election polls”.
