Bennett backs Netanyahu in light of possible indictment
Education Minister and Bayit Yehudi Chairman Naftali Bennett is backing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in light of the developments in his investigations and the signing of an agreement with Netanyahu's former chief of staff, Ari Harow.
"The State of Israel needs stability and we support this national government and are committed to its continued operation," Bennett wrote in a statement. "The prime minister has the presumption of innocence and I hope that the investigation will end without an indictment."
"I have full confidence in the law enforcement authorities and in the attorney general, without political pressure and unnecessary demonstrations," Bennett clarified. "A national right-wing government is necessary for Israel's security and we will continue to lead this way until elections.
"The public that sees us as the national leadership of Israel expects us to act responsibly and stately."
