Washington DC – Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke out on Palestine and Iran ahead of his visit to the White House this week.

The far-right replacement for the ex-Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making his first foreign visit since taking office.

Bennett is scheduled to meet in Washington DC with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday and with President Biden on Thursday.

After promising to "work for the sake of all the people," Bennett dropped bombs on Gaza just days into his administration.

It comes as no surprise, then, that the Israeli prime minister once again reiterated his hard-line approach toward Palestinians ahead of his meeting with White House officials.

According to the New York Times, he said he would continue expansion efforts into the West Bank and would not pursue a peace agreement with Palestinians. He also said he would not support the reopening of a US Consulate in Jerusalem for Palestinians.

His statements come as Israel faces increased international scrutiny over reports of devastating bombings on Gaza as well as incidents of detention and torture of Palestinian children and expulsion of Palestinians from their homes, which he called "the standard policy of natural growth."

Though progressive Democrats and human rights organizations have called out the State of Israel for alleged war crimes, Biden has continued to express his support for the country's government.

Ahead of the visit, Bennett said the main focus of his visit would be Iran.

The Israeli government opposes a nuclear deal with Iran, but Bennett said he will present a new vision on curbing Iran's influence in the region.

The approach includes forging ties with sympathetic Arab nations, exerting diplomatic influence, and carrying out clandestine operations against Iran.

Though the policies may not differ much from Netanyahu's, Bennett is apparently attempting to strike a more cooperative tone with the US after his predecessor's sometimes-tense relations with former Democratic presidents.

"I call it the good-will government. There’s a new dimension here – coming up with new ways to address problems, being very realistic, very pragmatic, and being reasonable with friends," Bennett said.

"Israel is here," he continued. "We are the precise anchor of stability, of willingness to do the job to keep this area safer."
