VIDEO: Former Israeli prime minister vies for position again amid ongoing warBennett served as Israel's right-wing prime minister from 2021 to 2022, and his new opposition bloc has ideas on ending the conflict with Hamas that they believe could topple sitting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
BENNETT: What I would do is apply tremendous pressure on Hamas, pressure that is not being used now. For example, Israel right now is allowing huge, vast amounts of fuel and other resources into the strip. And all of this goes directly to Hamas, and that's giving them the lifeline to continue holding out.

What, at what cost does Israel defend itself? ABC NEWS: You've said you don't believe in a two-state solution. Why not a two-state solution? And what would be your proposed solution?BENNETT: Not with people who want to kill you. Well, what we've learned over the past 30 years is every time we gave the Palestinians a piece of land, instead of building it into a beautiful Singapore, they turned it into a terror state and began killing Israelis..
