Naftali Bennet: ‘I will not give up any land’

Israeli PM hopeful vows to “fight for every inch” of the country as he tries to form a government after election

Naftali Bennet, the leader of the right-wing Yamina party and a candidate for prime minister in Israel's upcoming election, has said that he will not give up any land to the Palestinians. Bennet made the comments in an interview with the German newspaper Bild, in which he also said that he would "fight for every inch" of Israel.

Key points of the interview:

• Israel's political stalemate going on for years.
• Stated he would not cede land to Palestinians.
• He said he would "fight for every inch" of Israel.
• Accused Abbas of glorifying terrorists and inciting violence.

Bennet's comments come as he tries to form a government after Israel's inconclusive election in March. No party won a majority of seats in the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, and Bennet is now trying to build a coalition with other parties in order to form a government.

In the interview with Bild, Bennet said that he would not give up any land to the Palestinians, even if it meant that he would not be able to form a government. He said that he believes that Israel has a right to all of the land that it currently controls, and that he will not give up any of it.

Bennet's comments are likely to be controversial, as many people believe that a two-state solution is the only way to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians. However, Bennet's comments reflect the views of many Israelis, who believe that Israel should not give up any land to the Palestinians.

It remains to be seen whether Bennet will be able to form a government, but his comments on land concessions are likely to make it more difficult for him to do so. The Palestinians have said that they will not negotiate with a government that includes Bennet, and it is unclear whether other parties in the Knesset will be willing to join a coalition with him.
