Ofer Winter, chairman of the "Amcha Yisrael" movement, publicly accused pollster Shlomo Filber of receiving money from the Likud party's campaign. Winter made the claim during a community gathering in Efrat, stating that Filber's work was "part of the campaign." This is not the first time Winter has targeted Filber. Two weeks prior, Winter alleged in an interview on Channel 12 that Filber's polling on Channel 14 indicated Winter's party would not pass the electoral threshold, suggesting this was part of a government campaign.
Filber, in turn, has warned that Winter's party could potentially waste approximately 70,000 right-wing votes. He also claimed that about 75% of the party's supporters come from the Likud, Otzma Yehudit, and Religious Zionism parties.
Reports from Channel 13 indicated that Filber attended a Likud faction meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu about a week ago. There, he presented poll data to faction members that showed a tie between blocs, differing from the results of a recent Channel 14 poll. The same report suggested Filber is part of several closed Likud campaign WhatsApp groups. When reached for comment, Filber stated, "I do not comment on my work with clients."
