[68461] Naftali Bennett at the opening of the 'Beyachad' faction meeting: "It's over, let go"

Political tension at its peak: Bennett to the outgoing prime minister – "It's over, let go"

In the shadow of the emerging change of government, Naftali Bennett, who heads the "Beyachad" party, sent a sharp message today (May 20, 2026) to the outgoing prime minister. At the opening of his party's first faction meeting in the Knesset, Bennett declared that it is time to vacate the chair.

According to field news reports on Telegram, which often tends toward intensive coverage of political events on the ground, Bennett addressed the outgoing prime minister directly and said: "I have 3 words to say to the outgoing prime minister: It's over. Let go."

Similar things were also reported by journalists Amir Ettinger and Yuval Segev, who covered Bennett's words during a joint meeting held with Yair Lapid. Ettinger and Segev noted that Bennett repeated the exact same words, which emphasize the impatience of the new opposition toward the prolongation of the transition period of the outgoing government.

Bennett's statement comes at the height of a complex political process, with his message indicating a desire to accelerate the processes of the transfer of power immediately.
