Naftali Bennett said at the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations that he will not allow "a leadership that has failed to continue. I intend to lead Israel to its next chapter." He also attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said "after three decades since he rose to power, and after the greatest disaster in Israel's history occurred on his watch, a leader must know when to step down with dignity." During his speech, Bennett also said that "a new Turkish threat is emerging. I warn - Turkey is the new Iran. Erdogan is a sophisticated and dangerous adversary who wants to encircle Israel."
