  "account": "Naftali Bennett, a former Israeli prime minister, is in the midst of a campaign to repair Israel's image and mend fences with his political base. Much like Carter's 1976 presidential run, Bennett is traversing the country, holding informal conversations with ordinary citizens in \"parliaments.\" The former PM is hoping that one conversation at a time can change the way voters perceive him, as he faces criticism from right-wing voters who feel he has betrayed their trust by joining a government with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.",
  "summary": "NATIONAL AFFAIRS: In an exclusive video interview, Naftali Bennett confronts anger over broken campaign promises of the past and calls haredi enlistment and integration essential to \"fixing\" Israel.",
