According to a Yisrael Hayom newspaper report, in talks with party strategists on Wednesday, Naftali Bennet expressed confidence that his New Right party will take votes from outside the right-wing camp.

Bennet is quoted saying, “in recent years, there has been no attempt to transfer votes from bloc to bloc, but only within each bloc, and we do the opposite: half of Ganz’s mandates can be passed on to us… We have already taken two seats from him and Lapid, and our in-depth surveys show a stronger trend in the future. After years, for the first time, seats will be transferred from bloc to bloc.”
