It is clear that Hamas cannot win this war (that is to eliminate the state of Israel) but how can they lose the war (how can they be forced to capitulate, even for a short amount of time)?
What is his view on Israeli responsibility (if any) to protect diaspora Jews from harm. Is the mentality “if you want safety come live here and we will look after you” or does he feel Israel has a responsibility to protect diaspora Jews.
Would it be better/feasible for Israel to publicly push for Arab states to take responsibility for Gaza as opposed to continuously losing too many soldiers with little possible gain?
Do you think israel would be willing to end the war if hamas stayed in power but they got back all the hostages and every single arab country agreed to normalize relations with Israel?
Will be interesting to see his perspective on things.
My question to him would be how can Israel convey to Western public’s and governments the barbaric extent of what Hamas are about and that their policy is to deliberately get Palestinians killed for PR reasons in the name of undermining Israel? Especially now that many in most Western societies believe Israel is a genocidal apartheid state.
Your party Yamina as well as you had a very similar rhetoric to that of Smotritch. What are your views on Smotritch and Ben Gvir's statements? Are you in agreement with their views?
Naftali has his origins in the Israeli Right where his ideology is his concerned. It may be the case, certainly since the Second Intifada and now Oct 7, that the Israeli public has moved more right.
However Prime Minister Netanyahu has exploited Israeli political divisions for decades, pitting Sefardi against Ashkenazi, Secular vs Religious, Muslim vs Jew - always to benefit his electoral chances, and usually to his personal political success.
How would a Bennet government heal these deep divisions in Israeli society and forge a new sense of a national unity over such bitter internal divides?
I have seen reports of the new Israel Laser Dome coming soon, but differing opinions on when that will be, could this be confirmed please. I think it’s a fabulous invention. Thank you
Israel has contributed enormously to the world through technology, medicine, and other fields. Most people don’t even realise how much they rely on Israeli innovations in their daily lives. How has the ongoing war affected the ability of companies to operate and what more could Israel contribute if conflict wasn’t constantly disrupting jobs and progress?
I firmly stand behind Israel’s effort to neutralize the Hamas threat after the horrific October 7 attacks. The sheer brutality of those assaults left no doubt that a decisive response was necessary, and I fully back the country’s resolve to protect its citizens by declaring war.
noting that peace is a valuable and hard‑won condition, often through war and conflicts. Peace has lulled us into believing that humanity’s darker impulses have been extinguished. By staying aware of how tranquility reshapes perception, we can better ensure that the “righteous atonement” we pursue actually mitigates future evils rather than merely commemorating past ones. Should Israel have initiated a more deciseful forthrite campaign from the offset, akin to the fighting of wars experienced historically rather than going above and beyond to give quarter for PR points calculated by Hammas from the offset?
Would you support Israel temporarily taking civilian administration over the Gazan population, to deny Hamas their source of support and human shields, thus finally ending the war?
What about Ra’am some of their members denied the 7/10 atrocities & investigations in 2024 confirmed that there were links with Hamas via Khir-Ummah who have been known to run pro-terror programmes for children? Are you hand on heart ready to collaborate with Ra’am again knowing that they may not be loyal to Israel but rather see it as a means to acquire power in order to undermine it?

UNRWA, in charge of Palestinians’ education, has radicalized generations of Palestinians. How can this be remedied?
Can/should Israel take over the responsibility for educating Palestinians? Or get the Saudis to do so?
Do you believe that the Israeli government would benefit from structural changes, and if so what changes and why?
