Yaakov Bardugo, a candidate on the Likud list for the Knesset, warned in an interview on the program "Phtach et Shai" about votes leaking from the Likud party to Ofer Winter's list. According to him, about two and a half mandates of Likud voters are currently with Winter, while the battle between the blocs is tight. Bardugo claimed that he is exposed to Likud's internal polls, which show a tie at the moment. He compared Winter to Naftali Bennett, saying that Winter is a "new Bennett" who might cooperate with elements outside the right-wing bloc. Bardugo noted that Winter said he is going with Lieberman, and that Eisenkot is his interlocutor. According to Bardugo, Winter and Yosef Haddad were offered positions in Likud and Smotrich, but they declined. Bardugo mentioned the 1992 elections as an example of the consequences of a split in the right-wing vote, which he said led to the Oslo Accords.
