Winter's outcry: "Whoever tries to eliminate us endangers 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: now the party claims that the attacks against them, rather than Winter himself, endanger the right-wing camp. 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. This message, expressed in interviews by the number two on the list, Yosef Haddad, argues that in every poll where the party does not cross the threshold, 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 term 'Bennett 2' used by Netanyahu, to remind voters 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.
