Political commentator Amit Segal stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a significant strategic error by directly attacking Ofer Winter and his party, "Am Yisrael." Segal believes this move caused Winter's party to fall below the electoral threshold, potentially costing the right-wing bloc thousands of votes in the upcoming Knesset elections.
Speaking on Radio 103FM, Segal noted that the gap in voter support between Netanyahu's bloc and the "change bloc" has narrowed in recent days, creating a highly volatile and tense electoral situation just one week before the vote. He also criticized the Likud party's strategic management of its relationships with smaller right-wing parties.
Segal further commented on the Noam party's decision to remain in the race, suggesting they are intentionally risking vote wastage to gain leverage for future elections. Their goal, he posited, is to secure a reserved spot on a major party's list in exchange for withdrawing from future contests.
