Ben-Gvir Refuses Surplus Deal With Vinter, Calling Him 'Bennett 2'
Translated & summarized from Israel Hayom by baba
Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir declared his party will not sign a surplus agreement with Ofer Vinter's "Amcha Yisrael" party, labeling Vinter as "Bennett 2." This decision leaves Vinter with limited options for a surplus deal, potentially forcing him to align with Handel and Zelicha's party, which is not seen as right-wing. Such a move could be exploited by Netanyahu to accuse Vinter of "stealing right-wing votes."

Otzma Yehudit party chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that his party will not sign a surplus agreement with the "Amcha Yisrael" party led by Ofer Vinter. Ben-Gvir stated on his Twitter account that Vinter is "Bennett 2," which is the reason for his refusal to cooperate.
Following Ben-Gvir's announcement, Vinter faces a political dilemma. His last remaining option for a surplus agreement is with the "Miluimnikim-Ha'Kalkalit" party, led by Handel and Zelicha. However, Handel and Zelicha are not considered part of the right-wing bloc.
If Vinter signs a surplus agreement with Handel and Zelicha, it could benefit Netanyahu, who is campaigning against Vinter, accusing him of potentially "stealing right-wing votes."
