While Netanyahu attacks: Vinter and Ben Gvir storm the Likud strongholds
In Likud, they continue to attack Ofer Vinter and Itamar Ben Gvir, but the attacks are not translating into a significant improvement in the polls. Veteran activists describe insufficient field activity in Likud strongholds, precisely when Ben Gvir and Vinter are increasing their field work in those same places and directly competing for the party's voters. The concern: a low voter turnout that will harm Likud.
In Likud, they continue to attack Ofer Vinter and Itamar Ben Gvir, but the attacks are not translating into a significant improvement in the polls. Veteran activists describe insufficient field activity in Likud strongholds, precisely when Ben Gvir and Vinter are increasing their field work in those same places and directly competing for the party's voters. According to a veteran Likud activist, "In the end, everything will stand or fall on the voter turnout, and in our field the situation is not good, very not good." Another source estimated that if there is no change, "Likud will have a serious problem." Otzma Yehudit activists are operating in development towns and centers identified with Likud, and Vinter's people are calling Likud voters and trying to sway them to support him. Netanyahu's attacks, who warned at a Likud convention against voting for a party that will not pass the electoral threshold and against a party that "will transfer votes to Liberman" – a statement aimed at Vinter – are not stopping the activity. A source who spoke with field operatives described Vinter's activity as walking "on Likud's head aggressively."
