Bennett calls for pressure on the Haredim, not pleading with them

In depth

Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett is keeping silent in public, but in closed conversations he opposes concessions to the Haredi parties. According to him, the Alliance of Servants should continue with full force and pressure should be applied to the Haredim.

Bennett presents the approach whereby the Haredim should be made to want to join, out of concern for what will happen if they do not. According to him, they need to be made to understand how much they will lose if they do not come, and not be pleaded with.

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett addresses, in closed conversations, the political options before him. He presents a line different from Liberman's and argues: they should be threatened, not pleaded with.
