The "Am Israel" party has issued a sharp condemnation of Communications Minister Shlomo Karai, who claimed in a Channel 14 interview that Ofir Winter is "on the side of Palestine." The party defended Winter, highlighting the personal cost he paid for his views during his military service and asserting that he does not need to prove his right-wing credentials to anyone, especially not to Karai or other Likud party members.
"Am Israel" stated that Karai's "wild incitement show" endangers the entire right-wing bloc and demonstrates the need for "new and clean people in Israeli politics." The party also noted that the public disdains such statements and does not believe the slanders against Winter, who was previously desired as a high-ranking candidate for the Likud party, or against Yosef Haddad, described as a hero of Israel who fought for the country.
The party warned that Karai's remarks alienate voters from the right-wing camp and cause disgust among many on the right. They suggested Karai and his associates should focus on constructive actions for the Israeli people rather than engaging in "despicable statements, nonsense, and slander."
