Former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett discusses the country's multiple threats as Israel prepares to launch a ground invasion into Gaza.
Mr Bennett served as the 13th prime minister of Israel from June 2021 to June 2022.
“What I saw as prime minister, I noticed that we have a bunch of supposedly different enemies, but they are actually one combined enemy integrated,” he told Sky News Australia.
“That’s the Iranian radical Islamic enemy where it is sort of like an octopus – its head is in Iran and Tehran and it sends its arms into Syria, into Lebanon, into Gaza in order to kill Jews and inflict terror.”
The former defence minister stressed Israel must focus on eliminating the “head of the octopus” and not fight each individual arms.
