Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett sharply criticized Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir during a conference hosted by the Manufacturers Association of Israel. Bennett stated that foreign media interviewers frequently ask him about the two ministers, forcing him into a position where he feels he must "defend their dreck and stupidity." He urged them to cease their actions, exclaiming, "Stop!"

Bennett's remarks suggest he is being compelled to shield the government from criticism due to the controversial actions or statements of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, implying their behavior reflects poorly on Israel internationally.
