Works for me:

Grok:

“ Naftali Bennett is a conservative (right-wing) politician in the Israeli political spectrum.

He is widely described as right-wing or far-right by major sources, including Wikipedia (religious Zionist and far-right), The New York Times (right-wing pro-settlement), Reuters (religious right and far-right Yamina), NPR (hardline conservative), BBC (ultra-nationalist, more right-wing than Netanyahu), and Britannica (religious right-wing). Bennett himself has stated he is “more right-wing than [Netanyahu].”

His key positions reinforcing this include:

• Strong opposition to a Palestinian state.
• Advocacy for annexing parts of the West Bank.
• Support for Jewish settlements.
• Hawkish security views.

On economic and some social issues (e.g., gay rights, religion-state relations), he is more liberal than ultra-Orthodox or extreme religious right figures, and he has described his views as “hawkish-liberal.” Recent polls (as of 2025) show appeal among some centrists and liberals due to his technocratic style, criticism of Netanyahu, and past coalition-building, but his core ideology remains firmly conservative/right-wing in Israeli terms.

In U.S. or Western terms, his nationalism and settlement support align with conservative hardliners, though his economic liberalism (free-market, low taxes) adds a libertarian flavor. Overall, he is not considered liberal.”

Exactly. And Bennett was even more pro-Trump from the get-go.

Three of the first ten Comments on this thread are trying to convince me that Naftali Bennett is a Conservative, and that Netanyahu must be defeated in the next election.

No, thank you.

As I recall, alleged Conservative and military General Ariel Sharon thought giving Gaza to the Hamas Terror Organization was a good idea, in 2005.
