The target - Ofer Winter; Netanyahu's coalition decided to send a message to right-wing voters this morning
MK Zvi Sukkot criticized the establishment of the new party of Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter, warning that such a move endangers the right-wing bloc. Sukkot called on right-wing voters to be "sober" and not vote for adventures. Likud is watching with concern, and initial polls show potential damage to bloc parties.
MK Zvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism) attacked this morning the emerging establishment of the new party of Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter, defining it as "something that endangers the right-wing bloc." In an interview with 103FM, Sukkot said, "In the end, we want a right-wing government to be established here, this is an existential matter," and expressed hope that right-wing voters would be "sober" and not vote for adventures that would endanger the bloc. Sukkot emphasized that the question is not only ideological but also tactical – how to maximize the bloc's votes and bring victory in the elections. Meanwhile, purple signs hung across the country with the inscription "Soon you will have someone to vote for" and the date August 25 are generating interest and hinting at a possible announcement from Winter. The purple color is associated with the Givati Brigade, which he commanded. Likud is watching with concern, and initial polls conducted this week show potential damage to bloc parties in the event of an independent run by Winter, who may not pass the electoral threshold.
