Businessman and social media personality Asher Ben-Oz has declared that if the upcoming Israeli elections result in a deadlock, he intends to establish a new political party named "Abba Ohev" (Father Loves) to compete in future elections. Ben-Oz, who gained fame through a popular podcast with his son Nahorai, previously expressed political ambitions, even claiming he would become prime minister within a short timeframe.
With the 26th Knesset elections approaching, Ben-Oz stated in an interview that if no single bloc secures a majority, leading to potential new elections, his new party would aim to be decisive. The podcast, "Madabrim Ptuach" (Speaking Openly), nicknamed "Foskas," features conversations between Ben-Oz and his son on various life topics. Their unique style and direct remarks have gone viral, even inspiring a parody on the satirical TV show "Eretz Nehederet."
This is not the first time Ben-Oz has signaled political aspirations. In February, he predicted he would be prime minister within two years and four months. Ben-Oz, who identifies as far-right, also criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating he would not vote for him this time, despite having done so previously. The formation of "Abba Ohev" remains conditional on an indecisive election outcome, with no further details provided on potential candidates or a political platform.
