Naftali Bennett aspires to conquer Balfour.
He is indeed built from the right materials to be a good prime minister.
It has a combination of ideology and pragmatism, between statehood and popularism, between Judaism and democracy, between expressiveness and ability to do, between honesty and political sophistication.
He is proactive and leads forward, but also knows how to maintain alliances, make connections and plan long-term moves.
To the list of degrees of the groom Danan, it would be right to add his conspicuous shortcoming: recklessness.

I always appreciated Bennett.
There were also moments I was angry at him.
is very.
The hasty manner in which he retired from the late "Jewish House" and left him shocked and broken a moment before the election was disgraceful. With Bennett.The difficult lesson he learned then, it is worth remembering now, a moment before reckless moves in a similar style.This time he may abandon and destroy not only the house of religious Zionism, but of the entire right-wing camp.
The public in Israel chose the right.
Not in the right-wing party, dear Bennett, but in a right-wing national worldview.
This unequivocal choice must be respected.
Forget your right, Bennett, if you stand at the head of a left-wing coalition.
What's more, the State of Israel desperately needs stability, not a paralyzed government.
Rotational governments are a mutation that no vaccine will be able to repel.
Not to be confused, Balfour is not a destination for occupation in itself, just a means on the way to fulfilling a vision and values.
It is good that Bennett's desire to serve as prime minister is burning.
It has the same gleam in his eyes that is absent from Gideon Saar and Bnei Gantz.
But this healthy and positive desire can easily degenerate into a madness of greatness.
When the head of a party, which has only seven seats, recommends to the president himself - this is a symptom that raises suspicion of growing disease.
And we are not against greatness.
On the contrary - grew, Bennett, grew.
You were an economy minister and an excellent education minister.
You were also for two minutes a not bad defense minister at all.
It will only be better for all of us if you gain more experience, before the future entry into Balfour.
A hasty entry there now, inevitably encodes within it also a hasty farewell.
Netanyahu's proposal to Bennett to return to the Likud is the right path for a right-wing prime minister for a long time. Only a large and institutionalized movement like the Likud can produce prime ministers. Bennett, who ate bitterness from Netanyahu, reacts suspiciously to the proposal. No slamming of a door, nor immediate response to Netanyahu's courtship. Netanyahu has the largest number of recommenders anyway. He does not need Bennett to get a seat. Then he will return to the offices in the Kirya, and Balfour will wait for him in the next round.
Only if Netanyahu fails to form a government and tries to drag us into a fifth election will the way open for Bennett.
Forming a government under his leadership, as a last step before an election and not as a madness of greatness, may gain public support.
A reckless move now could burn his ability to acquire, in such a scenario, the trust of the entire national camp.
