Likud pulls Regev from group selfie after internal poll shows her scaring away voters — report
After an internal poll indicated that Culture Minister Miri Regev could deter Israelis from voting Likud, the party decided to remove her from a group selfie that was taken in Jerusalem earlier this week.
Channel 12 news reports that Regev was furious over the decision, proclaiming that the party wants to put forward a campaign of only Ashkenazi men. The minister canceled her appearances on Likud TV this week in response to the move.
