Speaking on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Out Front&#8221; with Erin Burnett, Bennett expressed \u200chis view\u2063 that external assistance\u2063 is unnecessary \u200din dealing\u2063 with \u200bviolence and criminal activity in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u200c prosecute any violence, any \u2062criminal activity. We don&#8217;t need any external help on doing it,&#8221; Bennett stated.\u200d He emphasized that the violence\u2064 attributed to settlers is minimal, with a significant decrease of 50 percent year on year. He believes that the portrayal of settler violence is exaggerated to create a false equivalence with Palestinian violence.<\/p>\n<p>Pushing back\u200c against\u200d left-wing \u2064outrage over an Israeli operation where operatives disguised as civilians and\u2062 medical staff raided a \u2063hospital \u2062to \u200bapprehend terrorists, Bennett defended the tactics used. When asked if he\u2062 was comfortable with such methods, Bennett redirected the focus to terrorists using hospitals as safe \u200bhavens.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re fighting terrorists who have no red lines, do not abide by any \u200dlaw. We&#8217;re held\u2063 to a\u2063 double standard,&#8221; Bennett argued. He highlighted Hamas&#8217; use of children and families as human shields and emphasized the need to target those who\u2064 seek refuge in hospitals. Bennett commended the impressive nature of the operation, stating that it is necessary for self-defense.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET \u2064THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"da\" dir=\"ltr\">Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali \u2062Bennett blasts the Biden administration. \u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xvd7ywvZKX\">pic.twitter.com\/xvd7ywvZKX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jason Rantz\u2063 on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz)\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jasonrantz\/status\/1753253138117890111?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 2, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How\u200b does \u2062Bennett\u2062 view the Biden administration&#8217;s \u2062approach towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in terms of consistency and bias<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2063To\u200b a \u2062crowd at a political rally, \u2063Bennett slammed the Biden administration&#8217;s decision as a betrayal of Israel&#8217;s sovereignty \u2063and a clear disregard for the country&#8217;s security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett, who recently assumed office as Defense Minister in\u200b the new Israeli \u200dgovernment, emphasized the importance of Israeli\u200b settlements in Judea and Samaria for the overall security and stability of Israel in the region.\u200c He argued that these\u2063 settlements act as strategic\u200c buffers \u2064and \u2063act as a deterrent against \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-embassy-in-kabul-urges-americans-not-to-travel-to-airport-due-to-security-threats\/\" title=\"U.S. Embassy In Kabul Urges Americans Not To Travel To Airport Due To Security Threats\">potential security threats<\/a>. By targeting these settlements, Bennett contended that the Biden administration\u2062 is undermining Israel&#8217;s ability \u200bto defend itself and \u200drisking the safety of its citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Bennett raised concerns about \u200dthe inconsistency and\u200b bias \u200bdisplayed by the Biden administration in its approach towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He pointed out that \u2064while the United States maintains a close relationship with other countries with disputed territories, such as Cyprus and\u2064 Western Sahara, it unfairly singles out Israel. Bennett called for the Biden \u2064administration to apply a fair and consistent policy towards Israeli\u200b settlements and not succumb to pressure from anti-Israel elements.<\/p>\n<p>The former Prime Minister also criticized the\u2062 timing of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/libs-fret-over-trumps-plan-to-exert-presidential-authority-over-fourth-branch-of-government\/\" title=\"Libs worry about Trump's control over 'Fourth Branch' of government.\">executive \u2062order<\/a>, which came just a \u2063few \u200dweeks after the signing of the Abraham Accords. The Accords, brokered by the Trump administration, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, marking a significant breakthrough in the region. Bennett argued that \u2062the Biden administration&#8217;s decision to target Israeli settlements undermines the progress made towards peace and sends a negative message to the Arab countries that\u200c chose to engage with Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett emphasized that Israel has the right to determine its own borders and decide \u2064where\u2063 its citizens \u200ccan live. He called on President Biden to reconsider his position and engage in \u200bconstructive dialogue with\u2062 the Israeli government\u2062 to address the concerns \u200cof both parties.\u200b Bennett expressed hope that the United States would continue to be a\u2063 steadfast ally for Israel and uphold the principles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-passes-resolution-affirming-support-for-israel-denouncing-antisemitism\/\" title=\"House supports Israel, condemns antisemitism.\">shared democratic \u200bvalues<\/a> and security interests that have long characterized the relationship between the two \u2064nations.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett&#8217;s \u2063criticism of the Biden administration&#8217;s executive order \u200ctargeting Israeli settlements highlights the deep concerns and frustrations within the Israeli government. Israel views\u2063 the settlements as\u2062 vital to its security, and Bennett argues that the decision\u2064 undermines \u2064Israel&#8217;s ability to defend\u200b itself effectively. He calls on President Biden \u200bto reevaluate his \u2064position\u200d and engage in a fair and constructive dialogue that respects Israeli sovereignty and security concerns. It\u200c remains to be seen how the Biden\u200c administration will respond to these concerns and whether it will seek\u2062 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/un-watchdog-says-iran-has-slowed-uranium-enrichment\/\" title=\"Iran's uranium enrichment pace has been reduced, says UN watchdog.\">find common\u2062 ground<\/a> with Israel on this complex \u200dissue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett criticized the Biden administration for signing an executive order against Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria.
