Snippet:
Many Israelis see Naftali Bennett as an Israeli version of Peter Magyar. They want to believe that, like Magyar – who emerged from Hungary’s authoritarian ruling system to challenge and defeat it – Bennett has seen the light, broken away from the populist-nationalist bloc, and can now be trusted to carry the banner of democratic renewal.
