WhatsappNaftali Bennett is a unique voice in the Israeli political sphere. He is a very accomplished politician with a sterling resume of accomplishments before he entered the political realm. He was an elite Army soldier who fought valiantly in the 2nd Lebanon War. Then, he led a start-up company to enormous success and made a fortune via his hi-tech company.
But he entered the realm of politics following a stint as a head of the Settlement Movement, Moetzet Yesha. He burst into politics and very quickly became a Minister of Industry under a Netanyahu-led government. Then, his party lost a lot of clout in the next election and some people thought his political star was fading. But somehow, he regrouped and in a short time, he fond himself sitting in the job of Minister of Defense. He excelled in that job and became recognized as a leading contender to be the successor of Benjamin Netanyahu.
One of the best aspects of his political personality is his ability and willingness to confront Israel’s enemies. Moreover, he ably confronts Israel’s detractors without apologizing. It is this kind of pride that strong leaders should display. Watch out for Naftali Bennett. He will probably be a proud Israeli leader for the next few decades.
