Media personality the media personality announced on Thursday that he would not vote for former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in the upcoming elections, despite expressing admiration for Bennett's administrative capabilities and predicting his return to the premiership. Bennett responded to the media personality's statement, asking for his vote, but the media personality detailed three primary reasons for his refusal.

The media personality praised Bennett's ability to manage government ministries and advance projects, stating he surpassed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in this regard. He noted that Netanyahu focuses more on diplomatic and security issues, to the detriment of day-to-day governance. The media personality also suggested Bennett might return to lead the country within the decade, potentially with broader public support.

Bennett directly addressed the media personality's post with a simple "Well, so vote for me. What." However, the media personality remained unconvinced and elaborated on his objections.

The first objection concerns the composition of Bennett's candidate list and their security perspectives. The media personality stated that many on the list seem to have concluded from the recent massacre that the priority is opposing Netanyahu, whereas he believes the paramount mission is the annihilation of the enemy.

Secondly, the media personality opposes a political boycott of Netanyahu. While acknowledging Netanyahu's problematic behavior and past actions, the media personality argued that the political system must find a way to cooperate with him for national survival.

Finally, the media personality raised concerns about the possibility of forming a government reliant on the support of Arab parties. He highlighted the challenge of combating illegal weapons in the Arab community and restoring governance in the Negev and Galilee, criticizing the current Netanyahu government for failing in these areas. He questioned Bennett about the feasibility of such initiatives in a government that includes Mansour Abbas's party.
