Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has publicly urged current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign, criticizing his extended grip on power and perceived failure to resolve the ongoing Gaza crisis. In an interview with Channel 12, as reported by The Jerusalem Post, Bennett proposed a significant shift in Israel’s policy, suggesting that the government negotiate directly with Hamas to secure the release of Israeli hostages.
According to Jerusalem Post, bennett’s plan involves offering a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in exchange for the immediate and complete release of all hostages held by Hamas. He argued that such a bold move is necessary to break the current deadlock and stabilize the region. In light of the terrible stalemate, I propose a complete deal: release all hostages and position the IDF only along Gaza’s border, Bennett stated, diverging sharply from the Netanyahu administration’s hardline military strategy.
He further emphasized that the total dismantling of Hamas should be postponed until a new government assumes office. “This government is no longer capable of delivering a decisive victory,” Bennett said. “The priority must be saving lives and restoring national security, not political survival.
Criticizing Netanyahu’s nearly two-decade hold on Israeli politics, Bennett remarked, “Twenty years in power is unhealthy. The people want peace. They want responsible leadership.
His comments reflect a growing sense of discontent within Israeli society, especially amid the humanitarian and political toll of the Gaza conflict. Many citizens, activists, and political figures have become increasingly vocal about the need for a leadership transition and a rethinking of Israel’s security approach.
With hostage negotiations stalling and military operations escalating, Bennett’s proposal is expected to fuel national debate and intensify calls for change at the top levels of Israeli leadership.
