Winter's outcry: "Those trying to eliminate us are endangering the right" | Dispute in the coalition bloc
Eight days before the elections, the 'Amcha Yisrael' party led by Ofer Winter is changing its messaging strategy. Instead of claiming it will pass the electoral threshold, the party now argues that attacks against it, rather than Winter himself, endanger the right-wing camp. The message, expressed in interviews by number 2 on the list Yosef Haddad, asserts that in every poll where the party does not pass, the right-wing bloc moves further from forming a government. Meanwhile, within the coalition bloc, a debate is underway over the strategy toward Winter – between personal attacks and focusing on the electoral threshold.
Eight days before the elections, the 'Amcha Yisrael' party led by Ofer Winter is fighting to cross the electoral threshold. The party is changing its messaging strategy: instead of claiming they will pass the threshold, they are accusing those who attack them of endangering the right-wing camp. The message, expressed in interviews by number 2 on the list Yosef Haddad, argues that in every poll where the party does not pass, the right-wing bloc moves further from forming a government. Meanwhile, within the coalition bloc, a debate is underway over the strategy toward Winter. One approach supports personal attacks and the use of the nickname 'Bennett 2' used by Netanyahu, to remind of Bennett's move to a government with the left. Another approach warns that these attacks strengthen Winter, who is perceived as a victim, and recommends focusing on the question of the electoral threshold and national responsibility.
