In an interview with Army Radio, Naftali Bennett, chairman of the "New Right" party, attacked the chairman of the "Resilience to Israel" party, Benny Gantz.

"Benny Gantz crowned [Hamas leader] Yahya Sinwar and he was a horrible chief of staff. Throughout his career, Gantz always abandoned and ran away. And in Lebanon he led the withdrawal and abandoned our partners - the South Lebanese Army," said Bennett.
