Economist Erez Zadok, who serves on the Jewish Home Party's Central Committee, has petitioned the party's court to declare that members of the committee rejected the request of party chairman Naftali Bennett to make changes to the party constitution.
According to Zadok, "For a week they thought that Bennett won, and only at the end of the week, when they found that a 65% majority was needed, and Bennett lost the vote, his associates claimed that there were flaws in the count and conducted a telephone poll in which Bennett got the majority he needed. This is forceful conduct, exploitation, lack of good faith, harm to democracy and non-compliance with party values."
