Gantz knew how to take responsibility, now it's Ofer Winter's turn

Mati Tuchfeld calls on reserve Major General Ofer Winter to withdraw from the Knesset race, arguing that his candidacy harms the right-wing bloc. The article notes Benny Gantz's resignation as a turning point that unites the opposition, and warns that votes Winter receives could be wasted if he fails to pass the electoral threshold, thereby deciding the next government against the right.

Mati Tuchfeld, head of the political desk at C14, calls on reserve Major General Ofer Winter to withdraw from the Knesset race. The article opens with an analysis of Benny Gantz's resignation, described as an 'earthquake' that united the opposition bloc. Tuchfeld argues that Winter, who set out with good intentions, is not bringing new votes to the camp but is taking votes from Likud, Religious Zionism, and Otzma Yehudit. The article warns that if Winter does not pass the electoral threshold, he could burn tens of thousands of votes and decide the next government against the right. Tuchfeld calls on Winter to withdraw 'now, with dignity, with head held high,' presenting it as a question of national responsibility.
