Bennett sounds upbeat tone despite fall to 8 seats

Jewish Home’s Naftali Bennett sounded a decidedly upbeat tone, despite the party’s collapse in the exit polls. From a high of 17 seats in polls a couple of months ago, the party took just 8 seats in exit polls today.

“This is a great night for the people of Israel,” Bennett insisted to Channel 2. “The right-wing camp won.”

“I’m very glad the national camp won. The people chose right very clearly,” affirms the party’s number two, Ayelet Shaked.
