Bennett Clarifies Remarks, Rules Out Netanyahu in Future Government

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett clarified that his suggestion of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu serving as a minister in a future government was sarcastic, citing Netanyahu's opposition to key principles.

Bennett further criticized the current political discourse and the Likud party's internal dynamics.
