Ofer Winter's 'Amcha Israel' Party Submits Knesset List Independently
The newly formed 'Amcha Israel' party, established just weeks ago, has officially submitted its list of candidates for the 26th Knesset, declaring its intention to run independently without merging with other factions. The party is headed by Ofer Winter, with a slate of prominent figures from the Israeli right and society, including activist Yosef Haddad, Netali Shem Tov, Eran Ben-Ari, Fler Hassan-Nahum, Lali Deri, Ronen Bodner, Davidi Ben Zion, Aviv Ezra, Sigal Kraunik-Attia, Eli Gino, and Arik Rubin.
Upon submitting the list, Winter expressed confidence that the party has rapidly become a significant political force, offering "a new spirit representing the entire spectrum of the population." He stated that the party's platform advocates for a genuine right-wing stance with decisive action on all military fronts, alongside integrating the Haredi community into national service and the military, and providing full backing for soldiers.
Winter optimistically predicted, "With God's help, we will be the surprise of the elections." The party's independent run is expected to be a crucial factor and a focal point of interest in the political landscape, particularly amid heated discussions about vote fragmentation within the right-wing bloc and the impact of the electoral threshold on the final results.
