MK Uri Orbach of the Jewish Home (Mafdal) party announced Tuesday that he believes Naftali Bennet should succeed Minister Daniel Hershkowitz as the next head of the party. Bennet recently announced the creation of a new Zionist party.

“We need to put Zionism back in the place it deserves,” said Orbach, “as a medium-sized party. We need Naftali and people like him in politics… He knows which direction to move in.”
