Yosef Haddad, an activist running for the Knesset with the "Am Israel" party, revealed on Saturday that the Likud party had attempted to recruit him until the last minute. Speaking at a cultural event in Kfar Saba, Haddad stated, "Until the 90th minute plus stoppage time, Likud offered me a spot in the top ten of their list and a promise to serve as a minister." The event, hosted by journalist Golan Bar Yosef, was the first in a new series called "Shabat Tarbut Noga."
Haddad criticized Likud, urging them to stop attacking the "most right-wing party" and misrepresenting its political stance. He asserted that "Am Israel" would pass the electoral threshold, a sentiment he attributed to Netanyahu as well. Haddad also addressed rumors about Ofer Winter potentially joining Liberman's party, calling it a new "spin."
He described "Am Israel" as a right-wing party that would join a Netanyahu-led government, but only under the condition that the government addresses the conscription of all citizens. "We will fight for the rights of those serving," Haddad declared.
Haddad also extended his criticism to Netanyahu, stating that on October 8th, he believed all 120 Knesset members should resign. He criticized Netanyahu for being part of the "conception" that led to the current situation, similar to the government, and also criticized Eisenkot and Bennett for the same reason.
