January 9, 2022   

Disagreement within the Yamina faction between Knesset members and Naftali Bennett over the question of whether and how right-wing moves should be promoted in the Knesset. Did you divide? For thousands of years we dreamed of Jerusalem, so now we want to dirty it? On Saturday: The mother rested, the child pulled the trigger – and was hospitalized in serious condition Are you crazy? Is your child unprotected? One in every 150 children who contracted the virus was hospitalized According to a report by Zeev Kam in Kan News, during the last faction meeting held by Yamina, MKs Nir Orbach and Yom Tov Kalfon said that they are having a hard time with the situation, in which they are required to vote against right-wing bills coming from the opposition every week. According to them, it is time for Yamina to also promote a right-wing move that will be registered in its name in the Knesset, in order to strengthen its right-wing image. The two spoke mainly about moves related to regulating the young settlement and connecting the settlements to electricity. At the end of the talks, Minister Ayelet Shaked said that the two were right, and that it was indeed right for Yamina to promote such a move. However, the Prime Minister claimed that the government is promoting right-wing moves with actions and not with words, and defined the bills mentioned by the two as nothing more than "trolling." Bennett asked that the faction not to elaborate or highlight the right-wing moves it is promoting and not to create conflicts within the coalition.
