Ofer Winter's Party No. 2 Vows to Oust Arab Parties from Knesset
Yosef Haddad, the second-ranked candidate on the "Am Israel" party list led by Ofer Winter, declared his intention to replace Arab parties in the Knesset during a radio interview on Monday. Haddad stated he "despises" Arab politicians who do not unequivocally condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization, asserting his goal is to "throw them out of the Knesset."
Haddad, who identifies as Arab Israeli, emphasized his commitment to serving Arab Israeli communities like Shfaram and Nazareth, rather than Gaza and Jenin. He explicitly rejected the possibility of cooperating with figures like Mansour Abbas, questioning how anyone could expect him to collaborate with someone unwilling to label Hamas a terrorist group.
"Am Israel" is a new party founded by Ofer Winter, a former IDF general. Haddad's strong rhetoric signals the party's confrontational stance towards existing Arab political representation in Israel.
