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?

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 have a hard time with the situation, in which they are required every week to vote against right-wing bills that come from the opposition.

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 talked mainly about steps related to regulating the young settlement and connecting the settlements to electricity.

At the end of the discussion, Minister Ayelet Shaked said that both were right, and that it was indeed right to promote such a move from the perspective of Yamina.

However, the prime minister claimed that the government was promoting right-wing moves through actions rather than words, and described the bills the two mentioned as nothing more than "trolls.".

Bennett asked that the faction not emphasize or highlight right-wing moves it promotes and not create conflicts within the coalition.
