Responding to a poll showing Naftali Bennett ahead in the race for chairmanship of the Jewish Home party, MK Zevulun Orlev's campaign said Tuesday: "Bennett's manipulation and schtick machine does not rest for a second.

"This is another rushed and unreliable poll ordered, paid for and publicized by Bennett's campaign HQ and presented to the public as an objective poll," the Orlev campaign said. "The poll's publication is designed to blur the success of the union between Minister Hershkowitz and MK Orlev, and is a hysterical attempt by Bennett to prevent supporters from joining Orlev's camp."
