Ofer Winter Accuses Likud of Threats Amid Political Rift
Former IDF General Ofer Winter has broken his silence regarding attacks from the Likud party, accusing them of attempting to dismantle and threaten his political movement. Winter, who recently announced his intention to run for the Knesset, directly addressed the criticism leveled against him by the ruling party.
Winter also commented on his political alliances, specifically mentioning Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman. He stated, "Anyone who relies on senior partners like Yair Golan cannot win," implying a critique of Lieberman's potential coalition choices. Golan, a former IDF deputy chief of staff, is a prominent figure in the opposition.
The Likud party responded forcefully to Winter's accusations, labeling them a "complete lie" and threatening legal action, including a defamation lawsuit. The party's strong reaction underscores the escalating political tensions between Winter's nascent political venture and the established Likud party.
