Deputy head of the Samaria Regional Council, Dvidi Ben Zion, was interviewed last night on the program "Kan Laila" on Kan News and explained his decision to resign from the "Amcha Yisrael" party, a week after the announcement. Ben Zion said that circumstances led to his continued membership in the party being irrelevant, and he felt that staying would not bring benefit. He admitted he misjudged the party's chances of passing the electoral threshold and explained that he did not correctly assess the strength of the campaign waged against him. Ben Zion described the personal and family harm he experienced due to the campaign, including comments his wife received at her workplace and the hanging of signs against him in his place of residence. In response to a question about whether party chairman Ofer Winter should also resign, Ben Zion replied that he cannot tell him what to do, and that he himself made his decision. He praised Benny Gantz for raising the banner of unity and entering the government.
