The Yamina party has issued a statement in response to MK Miki Zohar, who belittled their leader's chances of becoming prime minister.

"A million Israelis are sitting at home without jobs to go to, while Miki Zohar's Likud party continues to play power politics and indulge in one-upmanship at the expense of the country's citizens," the party stated. "Meanwhile, Naftali Bennett will continue to concern himself with real people's livelihoods."
