Winter drops a bombshell - the role Netanyahu intends for Eisenkot: "A danger to state security"

The 'Amcha Yisrael' party led by Ofer Winter published a harsh response against the Likud and Netanyahu campaign, following a Maariv report that a senior party member announced it would not automatically support Netanyahu. The party claims the campaign aims to appoint Gadi Eisenkot as Defense Minister, a move they define as a danger to state security. Likud responded with a photo of Winter alongside the original publication.

The 'Amcha Yisrael' party led by Ofer Winter today published a harsh response against the campaign being waged against them by Likud and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This follows a report in Maariv that a senior party member, attorney Eran Ben Ari, said at a house party that the party would not automatically support Netanyahu for prime minister. In the party's statement, it was written that this is "another fake" aimed at bringing about the appointment of Gadi Eisenkot as Defense Minister, a move they define as "a danger to state security." The party claims that Likud knows that Amcha Yisrael is strong and is not "in the prime minister's pocket." Likud responded by presenting a photo of Winter with the original publication in Maariv. Netanyahu himself published the article on X and wrote that voting for Winter would bring a left-wing government of Eisenkot, Lieberman, Yair Golan, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
