Former PM Naftali Bennett Blames Government for Chaos at Ben Gurion Airport

Former Prime Minister and 'Beyachad' party leader Naftali Bennett issued a statement at Ben Gurion Airport condemning the current Israeli government for the chaos at the country's main airport. Bennett said the airport's paralysis was not due to a natural disaster but a result of a dysfunctional government, describing Israel as mismanaged. He criticized the government for abandoning tens of thousands of Israelis during one of the busiest days at Ben Gurion, attributing the crisis to political interests. Bennett accused various political factions, including ultra-Orthodox activists, Likud operatives, and labor union officials, of prioritizing their personal agendas over the public good, causing the Israeli people to bear the consequences. He asserted that the government is being blackmailed from all sides but vowed that his party would not be coerced, emphasizing they owe nothing to anyone.
