Bennett: 'The day is near that the Jewish Home party will lead Israel'

The day when the Jewish Home party will lead Israel is near, head of the organisation Naftali Bennett said.

“Let me be clear: the day is near that the Bayit Yehudi [Jewish Home] party will lead the State of Israel. We are clearly approaching the day in which Bayit Yehudi leads the country, because there is no other choice,” Economy Minister Bennett said.

Opinion polls indicate that Jewish Home will rank third in terms of the number of parliamentary seats that it is expected to win in the elections, after the Likud, headed by the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the centrist coalition Labour-Hatnua movement, headed by Yitzhak Herzog and Tzipi Livni.

“Only the Bayit Yehudi opposes a Palestinian state. Only the Bayit Yehudi voted against letting free terrorists and murderers, and pushed through a bill that will forbid that (happening) in the future.”

“Only the Bayit Yehudi party cares about creating a Jewish identity for the young people in Israel,” he continued.

“We love the land of Israel, we love the people of Israel, we love the Torah of Israel – and we’re proud of it.”
