  • Netanyahu criticized Ofer Winter, head of the 'Am Yisrael' party, comparing him to Naftali Bennett.

Strategic advisor Moshe Klugheft stated on Sunday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes the right-wing bloc will secure 59 to 60 Knesset seats in the upcoming elections. Klugheft explained that Netanyahu's confidence stems from this projected strength, leading him to desire only 100% loyal individuals within his coalition. Netanyahu himself commented on a recent statement by Ofer Winter, head of the 'Am Yisrael' party, who had invited the Prime Minister to 'jump on him.' Netanyahu responded by suggesting Winter is under pressure and is a repeat of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who promised a right-wing government but ultimately partnered with the Muslim Brotherhood. Netanyahu characterized Winter's attacks as similar to Bennett's past actions, implying a similar outcome. Klugheft further elaborated on Netanyahu's political philosophy, describing it as a 'fan club' where loyalty is paramount. In other related news, Netanyahu is expected to attend the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in his ongoing trial.
