Podcast Star Threatens New Party If Election Results Are Tied

With just one week remaining until the 26th Knesset elections, Israeli political parties are intensifying their efforts to gain votes. Amidst fluctuating poll results and uncertainty about forming the next government, businessman and podcast host Asher Ben Oz stated that if the upcoming elections result in a tie and lead to another vote, he will establish a new party. "If there is an equality in the elections and there will be new elections, I will establish a new party that will decide the next elections, called 'Dad Loves,' which will decide the upcoming elections," Ben Oz declared in an interview.

Ben Oz, who identifies as a far-right individual, expressed disappointment with his previous vote for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating he would not vote for him this time. He criticized Netanyahu's leadership, claiming, "Every good part he destroys, crime is everywhere, people are barely surviving and he hasn't woken up." Ben Oz also asserted that Netanyahu is responsible for Hamas's growth, stating, "You can't feed it and also defeat it. The Hamas organization was built by Bibi Netanyahu. Bibi fed it for years, so you can't today defeat someone you feed. It's the simplest thing in the world."

Ben Oz further claimed that many close to him are also abandoning Netanyahu, adding, "Many are leaving Bibi today. Everyone left him. You know, only in a country like the State of Israel, from the moment I speak out against Bibi, they try to turn me into a crook. That's perfectly fine. So the biggest crook sits at the top, his name is Bibi Netanyahu. Many left, many flocked and deteriorated."
