Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett posted on social media platform X, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu and his cabinet members Ben-Gvir and Smotrich of turning a blind eye to "Jewish terrorism" in the occupied West Bank. Bennett stated that with determination and seriousness, this "despicable terrorism" could have been stopped long ago, but the current Israeli leadership "chooses to turn a blind eye." These remarks were made after nearly 100 Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians and journalists near Ramallah in the West Bank on October 16. Bennett also said that if his party wins the Israeli elections later this month, he will "take a tough stance against these criminals."
