I dont .

Bennett is totally against a Palestinian state and has publicly stated so .

Begin was the first to encourage settlement of the West Bank , the only right winger who had
the courage to take on the Settlers was Arik Sharon and he was secular .

And Then Biden Will Ask: 'Bennett, Where Did the Palestinians Disappear To?'

Prime Minister Bennett promised a 'new spirit,' but on his way to the White House he is sticking to a long-standing tradition set by his predecessor Netanyahu

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has promised change and a new spirit, but en route to Washington, he stuck to the tradition that his predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, practiced over many years – talking a lot about Iran and remaining silent when it comes to the Palestinians.

Perhaps he hopes that his host, President Joe Biden, hasn't heard about them. At their White House meeting on Thursday, Bennett may try to run out the clock talking about Iran until Biden has no time left to talk about the occupation, the settlements in the West Bank or about Gaza, where tensions are rising.
