This Is Why Israel Won’t Back Down

MAR 31, 202650 MIN

Description

Naftali Bennett (Former Prime Minister of Israel) joins Chris Cuomo to explain how Israel sees its war with Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas — and why he believes stopping now would be more dangerous than continuing. Bennett argues that Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional proxy network left Israel with no real alternative but to act early, before the threat becomes unavoidable. He explains the difference between how Israel and the United States view Iran, why deterrence may not be enough, and what a realistic outcome of this conflict could look like. Cuomo presses Bennett on whether the strategy can actually succeed, what happens if the Iranian regime survives, and why Americans are increasingly skeptical of another prolonged conflict. Bennett also addresses criticism of Israel in the U.S., the role of American support, and his vision for Israel’s political future as a possible successor to Benjamin Netanyahu.
