Bennett: Israel is ours because it’s the Jewish homeland, not because of Holocaust – 80 years after Wannsee Conference, PM says a ‘strong, secure, independent, thriving, diverse, free and united’ state is needed to ‘ensure the existence of the Jewish people’ | Timesofisrael

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Friday said Israel’s existence is not due to the Holocaust but because it is the ancient homeland of the Jewish people.
The comments came a day after the 80th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference, a meeting of senior Nazi officials by a Berlin lake that is seen as a key moment when Germany began implementing the plan to systematically round up and kill all Jews in Europe.
