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 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.
