The Am HaYisrael party, led by Ofer Winter, responded to Bezalel Smotrich's interview with the Ynet podcast. The party's statement says that three years after October 7, there is no decisive victory in Gaza or voluntary emigration, and "the failed concept hasn't gone away." The party calls for bold leadership, integration of ultra-Orthodox into the IDF, and rejection of deals with Goldknopf.
