Ex-IDF General Ofir Winter Forms Political Team Linked to Avigdor Lieberman
Retired Brigadier General Ofir Winter announced the launch of his new political party, "Amcha Israel," stirring concern for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Winter's party, unveiled recently, is seen as a potential threat to Netanyahu, who earlier this week released a video warning against the fragmentation of right-wing parties ahead of the 2026 elections.
Winter is assembling a close-knit team that includes advisor and writer Roy Idan, Eli Feldstein, and two associates with close ties to Avigdor Lieberman. This connection suggests a possible future political collaboration between Winter and Lieberman, which could reshape the right-wing political landscape.
The emergence of Winter's party and its network has heightened political tensions as Netanyahu seeks to maintain unity among right-wing factions. The involvement of Lieberman-linked figures in Winter's circle adds a layer of complexity to the evolving political dynamics in Israel ahead of the upcoming elections.
