Yoseph Haddad, the second-highest-ranking official in the Am Ech Israel party, has publicly stated that he believes there is an orchestrated attempt to create a damaging "investigation" focusing on his severe injuries sustained during the Second Lebanon War. Haddad expressed frustration, declaring, "There is politics and there is enough." He asserts that a political campaign is currently underway against him, claiming his opponents have succeeded in making people forget his true identity and his extensive work.
In a social media post, Haddad elaborated on his concerns, calling the alleged attempt to exploit his wartime trauma a "new low" in the "rotten" political arena. He stated that individuals are trying to dismantle the narrative of his near-fatal sacrifice for the country to harm him personally, deeming this unforgivable.
Haddad also addressed a past interview from over five years ago where he stated that "the final solution is the State of Israel alongside a Palestinian state." He claims that his past statements and interviews from the last decade are being scrutinized and manipulated as part of this campaign, leading people to disregard his actual contributions.
He expressed uncertainty about what further fabrications to expect, fearing that his status as a disabled IDF veteran might be twisted into something negative, possibly even being portrayed as a "Hamas disabled person." Haddad noted that he has already been labeled a pro-Palestinian and an enemy of the people, suggesting that anything is possible.
In a recent appearance on the program 'HaPatriotim,' Haddad explained his past comments on a Palestinian state, linking it to a "100-day plan" supported by the Prime Minister at the time, which he said advanced discussions on a two-state solution and facilitated the normalization deal with Saudi Arabia. He also recalled warning on Channel 13 four months before October 7th about the heavy price Israel would pay if it failed to stop terror organizations.
