Less than a week before the elections, a consensus appears to exist between the two blocs: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign against Ofer Winter, chairman of Am Ekh Israel, will ultimately lead to Winter falling below the electoral threshold. The extent of the pressure on Winter, described as strong and cruel, is being exerted by Netanyahu, Religious Zionism chairman Bezalel Smotrich, and their emissaries. It remains to be seen if Winter will collapse under the strain and follow the path of Benny Gantz, or if he will persevere until the end.
Leaders of the "Eisenkot bloc," which is currently experiencing positive momentum, are advised to cease internal disputes and return to the framework they formulated at Lapid's residence. The article notes that many enemies still await them further down the road.
