My Letter About Bennett's "First 100 Days" in Jerusalem Post

I wrote about David M. Weinberg's Rating Bennett's premiership after 100 days in power - opinion

It was such a relief to read David M. Weinberg's "scorecard" on Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's first 100 one hundred days in power. Too many people are searching for faults. 

Remember that a hundred days ago all we kept hearing was that the Bennett-Lapid government wouldn't survive a month, and that was the polite reaction. The screaming and cursing we heard from the MKs and former ministers who had been counting on remaining in that "twilight zone" of power forever proved to many of us that they had been in power many years too many. 

Weinberg's points are all excellent. 

About Bennett's UNGA speech, it was fine and gave the world a chance to meet him. Of course Naftali Bennett can't compete with Binyamin Netanyahu's skills as an orator. Honestly, I don't know if anyone in the world can. Bibi is an extraordinarily gifted orator-- among the very best in the world. That's no reason for him to stay Prime Minister. 

But there's one thing that Naftali Bennett can do that Bibi can't. Bennett can get along with people. I wish our Prime Minister success and just hope it doesn't go to his head...
