Channel 14 commentator Mati Tuchfeld stated Sunday that the campaign against Ofer Vinter, chairman of the Am Israel party, has failed. "We can say right now that the campaign to bring down Ofer Vinter has failed. As of today, I don't know what will happen in another week, but as of today this campaign has failed. Ofer Vinter is on the field," Tuchfeld said, emphasizing that this is the current situation and could change before the elections.
Tuchfeld's remarks refer to a campaign waged by the Likud party in recent weeks against Vinter and his party. The Likud aims to pressure Vinter into withdrawing from the electoral race and to retain votes that might go to the Am Israel party. As part of this campaign, Likud warns against wasting votes on the right and presents Am Israel's independent candidacy as a risk to forming a right-wing government.
Despite the pressure, Vinter has repeatedly stated his intention to run in the elections until the end. These statements come days after Davidi Ben Zion, who was ranked eighth on the Am Israel list, withdrew, citing concerns that the party would not pass the electoral threshold. Vinter and his party members claim they are facing personal attacks from right-wing elements, including calls to withdraw from the race and the placement of anti-candidate signs near their homes.
