Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter, former commander of the Givati Brigade, has been conducting advanced negotiations in recent days with several prominent figures to establish a new right-wing party under his leadership. Among the potential partners: hasbara activist Yosef Haddad, who is behind the request to establish a party named "Israel Amitza," and bereaved mother Leli Deri, a resident of Ali in Binyamin, who lost her son Saadia during the "Swords of Iron" war in Gaza and is identified with religious Zionism. Winter aims to announce the party's establishment as early as the coming week. He claims that the Likud and other veteran parties in the Netanyahu bloc will not succeed in bringing back right-wing voters disappointed with the coalition, even in light of Netanyahu's slots and the primary results held yesterday in the Likud. According to Winter's house rules, the party will be part of the right-wing bloc and will not agree to form a government with "Yashar!" chairman Gadi Eisenkot. Winter said he aims to bring only new people and is not interested in a connection with Smotrich or Ben Gvir. Winter's camp said "patience," and Haddad's camp said he is considering entering politics and examining his steps.
