Sources close to Winter have vehemently denied reports that Yosef Haddad, the number two figure in the "Am Israel" party, has been removed from the campaign's central focus. Earlier reports suggested internal tensions within the party's campaign, stemming from statements made by Haddad regarding a Palestinian state. Journalist Mohammed Magadla reportedly highlighted these past statements on social media, leading to the initial claims that Haddad was sidelined and would be excluded from party billboards.
However, the "Am Israel" party has issued a sweeping denial. A party spokesperson stated, "The publication is completely false. This is a graphic showing the leaders of the party's framework for an investigative committee, a framework that was formulated in recent weeks, while Haddad is fighting in the information field and other areas within his purview in the party." The party also criticized the manner of the reporting, suggesting that submitting an inquiry as usual could have prevented the erroneous publication. The party noted that Winter and Haddad were seen sitting together at a conference attended by hundreds of supporters at the time the article was published.
