February 15, 2022   

Yamina MKs who gathered yesterday (Monday) for a weekly faction meeting in the Knesset building, devoted part of the discussion to the party's image and its dismal state in the polls. Dramatic statistic: You could be losing hundreds of thousands of NIS that belong to you For smokers only: This is how you can save over 8,500 shekels a year According to a report by Hizki Baruch on Channel 7, one of the Knesset members criticized the lack of a strategy for media activity, and said that it is necessary to fix the Yamina spokespersons' system. The faction's chairman, Nir Orbach, emphasized the need to formulate uniform messages for MKs who are interviewed by the media, and demanded that the leaking of recordings from the faction's meetings stop. Channel 7 reported that an embarrassing moment occurred when Orbach raised the issue of the recordings - and the CEO of the Yamina party, Stella Weinstein, remembered that she had a microphone for the Channel 13 program "The Pipeline." Weinstein told the MKs: "Excuse me, I only just noticed that I have a recording device open, I apologize." Later in the meeting, the Yamina MKs formally introduced themselves to the party's new spokesman, Oved Perel, and formulated procedures for the MKs' coordinated work with the media.
