Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett: “The renewal of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran is a serious and dangerous development for Israel and is a political victory for Iran. This is a fatal blow to the effort to build a regional coalition against Iran. This is a resounding failure of the Netanyahu government and stems from a combination of political neglect with general weakness and internal conflict in the country.
“The countries of the world and the region are watching Israel in conflict with a dysfunctional government that is engaged in systematic self-destruction. Then those countries choose a side. The Netanyahu government is a resounding economic, political and security failure, and every day of its action endangers the State of Israel. We need a broad national emergency government , which will work to restore the many damages that have been caused.”
