Yosef Haddad Rejects Claims, Says He Woke Up to Palestinian Reality 5 Years Ago

Yosef Haddad, the second-highest-ranking official in the 'Amcha Israel' party led by Ofer Winter, is refuting recent claims against him following the circulation of a five-year-old video in which he expressed support for a Palestinian state. Haddad stated on Sunday that the video, which resurfaced "not by chance," was filmed over five and a half years ago, before the "Guardian of the Walls" operation and the October 7th Hamas attack. He explained that at the time, during the Trump administration's "Deal of the Century," he believed that integrating proud Arab citizens of Israel into key positions and the negotiating table would resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Haddad's perspective shifted during the "Guardian of the Walls" riots, when he witnessed Palestinian and Israeli Arab extremists inciting violence within Israel. This experience led him to conclude that peace with the Palestinians was unattainable and that establishing a Palestinian state would be an existential threat.

Haddad further asserted that the October 7th massacre by "Palestinian Nazis" should have served as a wake-up call for everyone. He has been actively working globally to dispel illusions about the Palestinians, noting that he is threatened by them and considered a collaborator and traitor. He emphasized that his current actions, not past statements, define him. Haddad declared he has no trust in Palestinians today and vehemently opposes a Palestinian state. He cited this opposition as the reason for joining Ofer Winter's 'Amcha Israel' party, which advocates for the voluntary emigration of Gazans as its primary solution.

Haddad urged the public not to fall for "spin and propaganda" at his expense. He vowed that as the Minister of Public Diplomacy, he would expose the "Palestinian lie" internationally, aiming to eliminate belief in their narrative and definitively end the idea of a Palestinian state.
