In a tense interview on Channel 14, attorney Eran Ben-Ari, candidate number 4 for the "Amcha Yisrael" party headed by Ofer Winter, clashed with interviewer Dana Varon. The confrontation erupted after Varon presented him with the channel's poll data, according to which the party does not pass the electoral threshold. Ben-Ari forcefully rejected the data and expressed full confidence: "We pass by a large margin. The election surprise - that's clear to me." Subsequently, he categorically ruled out any possibility of future cooperation with Avigdor Lieberman, and rhetorically asked how Lieberman could become prime minister without Likud. He also strongly denied rumors about a possible coalition seat with Mansour Abbas, calling them "an absolute lie." Finally, Ben-Ari addressed messages from Likud against his party and warned that harming "Amcha Yisrael" could cost the right dearly and lead to the opposition. The interview reflects the tensions within the right-wing bloc ahead of the elections.
