Naftali Bennett, chairman of the 'Unity' party, took advantage of the 'vehicle protest' this afternoon (Wednesday) to incite against the Haredi public.

Bennett tweeted on his X account at 5:03 PM: "Right now, I'm stuck in traffic with my family for two and a half hours. I'm immediately going to talk on the B network. I have a lot to say to the people of Israel.".

During the interview he gave to Mazal Mualem and Chen Lieberman on Channel 2, he criticized the demonstration: "I am currently with my family on my way to the end of my daughter's preparatory school, who is enlisting. I am stuck on the way to Castel, I have been in traffic for two and a half hours. I am here because of a group of evading privileged people, I and every taxpayer are funding them because they decided to bury the country.".

Media figure Avi Greenzig responded to him: "A crook will always remain a crook. The convoys of vehicles left at 4:00 PM, but you've been in traffic since 2:30 PM...""

The surfer Finn responded to him: "I heard what you said, shame on you. Only the Kaplan is allowed to block roads, the Haredim are not allowed, huh? Dictatorship. And you still think someone will vote for you in the elections.".

Surfer Nissim Bar On wrote: "The traffic jam is in the opposite direction. Does the bag of lies also open in the car?""

And another surfer wondered: "How are you two and a half hours in traffic at a demonstration that started half an hour ago? Oh, Pinocchio?""
