Speaking with Israel Hayom and i24NEWS on Thursday, Yamina leader MK Naftali Bennett said that if he were to become prime minister his priorities would include bolstering Israel's education system, delivering "law and order" to the Negev and "creating 400,000 new jobs for unemployed Israelis."

Addressing Israel's ties with the United States, he touted his understanding of the American mentality and hailed the US as Israel's "biggest ally."

Bennett said that, if elected, he was likely to see eye to eye with the administration of US President Joe Biden "90% of the time," while disagreeing on some matters.

When asked about the Israeli Arab community, Bennett said he was willing to embrace any well-meaning Israeli citizen and vowed to fight against those who reject Israel's right to exist.

Speaking about his possible kingmaker status, with electoral maths as projected by polls hinting that Bennett may hold the keys to the March 23 vote, Bennett said: "My plan is to make 10 million Israelis become kings."
