Yosef Haddad, number 2 on Ofer Winter's list, was interviewed on the program 'Meeting of Extremes' on i24NEWS and addressed the controversy surrounding his entry into politics. Haddad rejected criticism of his past statements, including remarks that his critics claim portray him as a leftist and as someone who previously supported a Palestinian state. In the interview, Haddad repeatedly compared himself to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, arguing that he is being judged by a 'loyalty index' that is not applied to other politicians. When asked if he currently supports a Palestinian state, he replied 'no', and when asked if he was a leftist in the past, he replied 'no'. Haddad said he uses the term 'Judea and Samaria' and not 'West Bank', and claimed that Netanyahu also used the latter term in the past. In the interview, Haddad expressed outrage at how his critics present his positions, and angrily asked whether, because of positions he expressed in the past, he becomes in their eyes a 'collaborator and traitor'.
