Ben Caspit talks this week with Moty Cristal, CEO and founder of NEST Consulting. Lt. Col. (res) Cristal, who served in the past as a negotiator and adviser in the prime minister’s office, comments on the Aug. 27 meeting between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. According to Cristal, "The chemistry between the two leaders was good because Bennett really came prepared and humble." He further explains that Bennett approached the meeting with a lot of respect to the gap in age and experience vis-à-vis Biden, almost as a son to his father.
