Bennett criticizes gov't over Hezbollah, Hamas recovery

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has publicly criticized the current government's handling of conflicts with Hezbollah and Hamas. After visiting northern Israeli settlements, Bennett stated that the Iran-backed militant groups have recovered faster than the Israeli communities of Kiryat Shmona and Nir Oz. He argued that Israel needed a decisive military outcome, which the government failed to deliver, resulting in only temporary rounds of fighting. The comments highlight ongoing political divisions over Israel's security strategy following recent ceasefire agreements.
