Exploring Bennett's security policy vision, belief that he can convince Egypt to fix Gaza standoff

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett criticizes Benjamin Netanyahu's diplomatic passivity, particularly regarding Gaza, advocating for a more active approach that integrates military and diplomatic tools. Bennett believes Egypt is crucial to resolving the Gaza standoff, asserting that Netanyahu's government has alienated President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. He proposes restoring strong relations with Sisi, believing this would encourage Egypt to contribute soldiers and a joint vision to disarm Hamas. Bennett states, "whoever is prime minister should be meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi at least twice a year." Regarding Iran, Bennett would prioritize Mossad-led efforts to counter ballistic missile development, pushing the defense establishment for rapid solutions, as he did during his premiership to accelerate the readiness of strike capabilities.
