Joseph Haddad, the second-highest-ranking official in the "Am Israel" party led by retired Brigadier General Ofer Winther, has released a video refuting accusations made by the Likud party. The Likud claimed that Haddad's remarks about Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman, suggesting he "could be a worthy partner," supported their assertion that "Winther is closed with Lieberman." The Likud interpreted this as evidence of a potential post-election political alliance between Winther's party and Lieberman's.
Haddad, in his response video, directly addressed the Likud's statement, calling it a "fake spin" and stating, "Fake spins are not on my back." He explicitly rejected the allegations and the narrative being pushed by the ruling party. This exchange marks an escalation in the public dispute between the Likud and the "Am Israel" party in the lead-up to the elections.
The conflict highlights the intensifying political rivalry between the two parties as the election date approaches, with both sides engaging in public messaging battles.
