Another conflict in the Jewish home: " Israel Today" has learned that the party's chairman, Rabbi Rafi Peretz, is working to push his deputy on the list of Jewish House MK MK Moti Yogev to the back of the list for the Knesset because of controversy over party primaries.

According to sources in the Jewish home, Rabbi Peretz intends to arm a candidate or candidate over Yogev. Remember, this was done despite the fact that last year Yogev broke the red carpet before Rabbi Peretz took office as chairman of the party. Yogev supports the holding of primaries in the party, while Peretz opposes it.

Minister Peretz said in response: "Everything spins like all the last two days. Minister Peretz is coordinating with MK Yogev during the fixing of the list for the Knesset and leaving Yogev in second place, things have no dawn."

Key activists in the party began yesterday to sign autographs with the aim of leading a move that would allow primaries to be held in the party - contrary to Peretz's opinion.

The activists say the latest polls show that if the party fails to unite with other parties on the right, it may not pass the blocking percentage and disappear. "If we are living things - the Jewish home and political religious Zionism cannot allow the lack of democracy and the blocking of ranks," say the well-known delegates in the party.

As part of the initiative, activists began signing members of the Center in the Jewish House on a motion that includes editing primaries for all candidates for the 23rd Knesset, as well as opening the lines "for anyone willing to identify with the party values." The proposal means opening the door to Knesset members and activists of other parties, headed by Ayelet Shaked and Bezalel Smutrich, so that they can run for head of the Jewish House in front of Rabbi Peretz.

Among the activists involved are the deputy mayor of Jerusalem and the party's chairman, Hagit Moshe, Yossi Harush, Deputy Mayor of Lod, Eitan Tsanani, Deputy Mayor of Kfar Saba, Amiad Taub, Deputy Mayor of Modi'in and Chairman of the Council Branch leaders, Davidi Ben-Zion Deputy Mayor of Samaria, Avihu Ben Moshe Jewish Home Chair in Ramat Gan, Arie Meisels Deputy Mayor of Kiryat Ata, Moshik Goldstein Deputy Mayor of Givatayim and Itzik Dai Deputy Mayor of Petah Tikva.

It should be noted that Peretz himself earlier ruled out the possibility of party primaries, calling for a Rich Run agreement with the National and New Union parties - as it was in the previous election, and this initiative was also supported by party activists.
