Winter attacks: "Whoever votes for Lieberman and Bennett is voting for Yair Golan"

Ofer Winter, chairman of "Amcha Yisrael", harshly attacked the left-wing bloc meeting and claimed that those who vote for Lieberman and Bennett are effectively voting for Yair Golan. Winter quoted Golan as saying that "a normal country does not kill babies as a hobby" and determined that the reference was to IDF soldiers. Meanwhile, the five party leaders published a joint principles document and pledged to stop mutual attacks, but left the issue of the prime ministerial candidate open.

Ofer Winter, chairman of the "Amcha Yisrael" party and a reserve brigadier general, harshly attacked the left-wing bloc meeting that took place yesterday (Saturday). Winter claimed that those who vote for Lieberman and Bennett are effectively voting for Yair Golan, and quoted Golan's statement that "a normal country does not kill babies as a hobby." Winter determined that these words were aimed at IDF soldiers. He called on people to vote for Amcha Yisrael in order to "defeat the enemy" and "fight anti-Semitism in the world," and wished success to Yosef Haddad in his match against the Irish. Against this backdrop, the five party leaders of the left-wing bloc—Yair Lapid, Naftali Bennett, Gadi Eisenkot, Avigdor Lieberman, and Yair Golan—published a joint principles document and pledged to stop mutual attacks. However, the central dispute remained open: they did not decide who would be the candidate for prime minister, leaving the decision until after the elections. The article quotes only Winter and does not include a response from any of the parties mentioned.
