Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter, chairman of the 'Amcha Yisrael' party, delivered a fiery speech at the party's campaign launch event ahead of the upcoming elections. In his speech, Winter declared: "This coming Tuesday will be the largest protest vote in Israel's history!" and called on the public "not to succumb to old and ugly politics." Winter accused that established political figures are running an aggressive smear campaign against him, and claimed that "tens of millions of shekels have been invested against Amcha Yisrael... just to try to crush Amcha Yisrael." According to him, the reason for the attack is fear: "They are s-c-a-r-e-d." Winter promised not to give in to the defamation campaign and concluded: "We continue with you with all our strength – until the victory that will be, God willing." He also addressed the concern among his supporters about voting for the party, and claimed that the party's research indicates hundreds of thousands are interested in supporting it.
