Jewish Home Chairman and Economy Minister Naftali Bennett attacked the Israeli left today (Saturday), saying that "the left has become Israel's 'no-no bear'," with regard to the political process between Israel and the Palestinians.

 Bennett said: "The left has become Israel's 'no-no bear.' I have put a practical plan on the table to apply Israeli law to the territories under Israeli control, such as Gush Etzion, the Jordan Valley, Ma'ale Adumim, the Ben Gurion Airport area, and all Jewish settlements in Samaria and Judea.".

""Since the program was launched, I have been hearing cries of 'no, no' from the left, horror scenarios about boycotts, intifadas, the collapse of the PA, and more. Every day gives rise to a new horror scenario.".

""There's only one thing I don't hear: an alternative. After the Oslo Accords collapsed in flames with the loss of over 1,000 Israelis murdered in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, and after the idea of ​​unilateral withdrawals exploded with thousands of rockets fired from Gaza at Sderot, Ashkelon, Beersheba, Ashdod and even Tel Aviv.".

""The time has come to advance Israeli interests and offer an alternative.".
