Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana has called for greater unity within the right-wing political bloc, citing recent political developments as a reason for concern. Ohana's remarks followed the departure of Devidi Ben Zion from the party led by Ofir Winter, a move Ohana described as having broad implications for the entire right-wing camp.
Ohana emphasized the importance of making decisions that strengthen the bloc and prevent significant political power loss, especially in a fragmented political landscape with increasing competition for votes. He revealed that efforts have been underway for months to find a framework that would integrate Winter into a larger right-wing political entity, aiming to consolidate forces and avoid the creation of separate factions that could split votes and impact the post-election balance of power.
He praised Ben Zion's decision to leave Winter's party as an example of public and political responsibility, acknowledging the difficulty of such a choice during election preparations. Ohana expressed concern that further division within the right-wing could hinder its ability to maintain a political majority and continue leading the country. He warned that multiple parties competing for the same voter base risks wasting votes and diminishing electoral achievements.
Concluding his appeal, Ohana urged other members of Winter's party to reconsider their political path and adopt a broader strategic vision. "The political challenges facing the right demand cooperation, responsibility, and unity, in order to strengthen the camp and ensure its continued influence on the national agenda," Ohana stated.
