Dewidi Ben Zion, who was slated to run eighth on the "Amcha Israel" party list, is expected to announce his withdrawal from the Knesset election race on Tuesday evening. The move comes just two weeks before the election and follows significant pressure within the party due to recent poll results, which indicate the party may not pass the electoral threshold. Ben Zion's departure is seen as a major blow to the party's leader, Ofer Winter, and to the confidence of other candidates in his ability to lead the party into the Knesset. Political analysts anticipate further resignations from the party's slate in the coming days. The growing concern among party members stems from the risk of losing votes to the national camp, which they fear could pave the way for a left-wing government.
