Senior Likud Politician Admitted Government Failure, Yoseph Haddad Claims
Yoseph Haddad, second on the "Am Ech Israel" party list, revealed on social media that a senior Likud politician privately admitted the current government's "severe failure" several months ago. Haddad stated the politician also expressed that the right-wing bloc has "no chance in the elections" without new candidates entering the political arena.
Haddad contrasted this private admission with a recent public interview where the same politician, according to Haddad, "recited from a talking points sheet" and attempted to create fear against the "Am Ech Israel" party, which he described as "the new spirit in the right-wing camp." Haddad expressed confidence that attacks against his party would only strengthen it.
In a separate interview, Likud Knesset Member Avihai Boaron criticized "Am Ech Israel" leader, "Winter" (likely referring to a candidate named Winter, though the article uses the surname alone), accusing him of "burning votes and collapsing the right-wing." Boaron urged Winter to join an existing party rather than run independently, warning that if Winter does not merge, attention would be directed towards preventing people from voting for him.
Boaron further dismissed Winter's electoral aspirations as "childish" and "daydreams," suggesting Winter should join an established party if he wishes to lead. The interview took place shortly before the deadline for submitting party lists for the Knesset elections.
