A Zionist Union MK reportedly calls out leader Avi Gabbay over the drubbing polls indicate the opposition faction will suffer in the next Knesset elections.

“Everyone wants you to succeed and be prime minister, but let’s talk about the elephant in the room,” Channel 10 news quoted Eitan Cabel telling Gabbay at a faction meeting.

“We don’t want to be unemployed after the elections. I’m looking you in the eyes, without fear, and telling you you must show unifying leadership,” Cabel adds.

Gabbay in response implies Cabel was behind leaks to the media against him, according to the network, which Cabel denies.

A Hadashot TV news poll earlier this week said the Zionist Union would win 12 seats if elections were held today, half of its current tally.
