"Regarding the defense minister's meeting, it was done with my full approval. The defense minister spoke to me in advance and I saw no reason to ban it," Bennett told reporters.
"There are different positions in government and mixed [opinions] from the Left and Right – that's part of life," Bennett said. "The defense minister is responsible for providing security in Judea and Samaria and as such, there is cause to hold such a meeting."
