Israel’s new leader a bundle of contradictions
Jerusalem | Naftali Bennett, who was sworn in on Sunday (Monday AEST) as Israel’s new prime minister, embodies many of the contradictions that define the 73-year-old nation.
He’s a religious Jew who made millions of dollars in the mostly secular high-tech sector; a champion of the settlement movement who lives in a Tel Aviv suburb; a former ally of Benjamin Netanyahu who has partnered with centrist and left-wing parties to end his 12-year rule.
