This is so embarrassing for Bennet and for his media adviser / spokesman. Even if I could give kaf zchut, the intention here is continued ego-trip of Sir Bennet.
How can a leader (he is the head of a political party and has held other leadership positions in the past political and business) make such a dumb decision, either personally, or to accept someone's advice to make this pathetic clip??? Does Bennet really think that he is making a sincere plea to the Haredim by: - doing it through youtube/internet - getting filmed from a smartphone (besides the poor quality) - in an alley - not being coherent, or bothering to make another take when he mentions 'not sitting with the Haredim, er, Haredi parties'.
The video was made for his diehard fans, not the Haredim.
I doubt anybody specific was meant to see the video and be influenced by it. It si for PR purposes, so he will have the appearance of reaching out to the haredim. There was an item in the news the other day about how Bayit Yehudi is going to be investing in PR to fix the image that has been perceived about them the past month. Maybe this is the beginning of that project...

This is like writing an open letter to impress bystanders rather than the ostensible recipient.
