Turmoil in Bennett's Party: 'We Have Two Serious Blows'

Against the backdrop of Bennett's decline in the polls, tensions have emerged in recent days at the top of the campaign for the Together party, Michael Shemesh reported on Thursday.

According to the report, a senior figure in Naftali Bennett's circle, one of the campaign leaders, is speaking harshly about the causes of the difficulties in the new party: “We have two serious ‘blows’ , one is Yair Lapid, the other is Lior Chorev. If there is no change, we will have trouble picking ourselves up.”

The source is referring to claims by other figures in Bennett's circle that Lapid “drove away” right-wing voters who supported Bennett, while Lior Chorev, who was appointed the party's strategist, is struggling to pull it out of the crisis. According to party sources, significant clashes have been taking place in recent days between the campaign leaders, and Bennett will need to make decisions to restore order.

The Together party denied the report, saying in response: “This is yet another fabricated story from unknown sources that no one knows.” It should be noted that in the latest published polls, Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party is overtaking Bennett and Lapid's Together party, which is collapsing to 12 seats.
