- Winter accused of contradicting stances on conscription and accountability.
- Party claims Winter supports Netanyahu's government despite opposition to inquiry.
- Winter criticized for not opposing party members who support a Palestinian state.
- Yisrael Beiteinu called Winter's party "without moral backbone."
The party claimed there is a significant gap between the positions Winter publicly espouses and his potential support for a government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. Yisrael Beiteinu specifically criticized Winter's stance on conscription, stating that while he claims to support it, he also backs what they termed a "draft-dodging government."
The party also targeted Winter's views on accountability for the October 7th events and the establishment of a state commission of inquiry. Yisrael Beiteinu asserted that Winter's position of supporting "accountability" is contradicted by his support for the prime minister in power on October 7th and his opposition to a state inquiry.
Furthermore, the party criticized Winter's positions on settlement and the presence of individuals within his own party who support a Palestinian state. Yisrael Beiteinu stated that Winter has not taken action against these individuals, accusing his party of lacking moral backbone and a clear direction. They alleged that Winter's party aims to "confuse the serving public and crawl into Netanyahu's draft-dodging government."
