Ofer Winter Slams Smotrich Over Gaza Policy, Calls for Decisive Action
Ofer Winter's party, 'Am Yisrael,' has responded to remarks made by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, criticizing the current approach to the war in Gaza and the handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In a statement, the party declared that three years after the October 7th attacks, there has been no decisive victory in Gaza, nor has there been voluntary emigration of Palestinians. "The misconception is still here!" the statement read, asserting that the Israeli people desire "brave and determined leadership that strives for a decision." The party also called for the integration of Haredim (ultra-Orthodox Jews) into the IDF and criticized "deals with Goldknopf," likely referring to United Torah Judaism leader Moshe Gafni.
The statement directly addressed Smotrich's comments made on the ynet podcast '120 and One,' where he called Winter's actions "irresponsible," stating that they "endanger the country and are a disaster for security."
Winter's party concluded by emphasizing the need to abandon the "misconception" and excuses, declaring, "It's time for a decision. It's time for Winter."
