Explosion in the studio: Filber revealed poll data, Haddad responded passionately

A heated political confrontation erupted on Channel 14's "Five" program between Yosef Haddad, number 2 on the "Amcha Yisrael" list, and host Yaara Zard and analyst Shlomo Filber. Filber presented poll data showing 75% of the party's voters come from the right-wing bloc, warning of damage to the camp's strength. Haddad dismissed the data, claimed 7-8 mandates from new audiences, and conditioned his recommendation for Netanyahu on legislation regulating the status of service members.

A heated political confrontation erupted this evening (Tuesday) on Channel 14's "Five" program between Yosef Haddad, number 2 on the "Amcha Yisrael" list headed by Ofer Winter, and host Yaara Zard and political analyst Shlomo Filber. At the center of the discussion were poll data presented by Filber, according to which 75% of the party's voters come from right-wing bloc parties – mainly from Likud, Otzma Yehudit, and Religious Zionism – while only 25% come from parties such as the State Camp, Yesh Atid, and Yisrael Beiteinu. Filber noted that among undecided voters there are about four mandates, most of whom want certainty that their vote will enter a government led by Netanyahu. Zard slammed Haddad, saying the party does not pass the electoral threshold or barely scrapes four mandates in polls, and asked whether they understand they are endangering the right-wing government. Haddad dismissed the poll numbers and claimed that according to internal checks, the list stands at 7 to 8 mandates, partly from Arab society and new immigrants. He conditioned his recommendation for Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister on legislation regulating the status of those serving in the IDF and national service before the government is sworn in. Haddad refused to commit to withdrawing from the race if the party does not pass the electoral threshold, insisting it would be the election surprise with eight mandates.
