Sara Netanyahu, wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is reportedly behind the premier's refusal to support a rival candidate, Ofer Winter, in his bid to cross the electoral threshold. Senior Likud officials claim that instead of hindering Winter's political aspirations, the party should be assisting him to overcome the blocking percentage required for Knesset entry. However, these officials allege that Prime Minister Netanyahu is unwilling to listen, with Sara Netanyahu allegedly suspecting a coordinated effort between Winter and political figure Avigdor Lieberman.
Winter himself recently criticized the Prime Minister's visit to Rabbi Eli Sadan. During a home study group event, Winter stated, "Ugly campaign! I tell you, the time has come for different leadership, leadership that takes responsibility!" This criticism comes amid the ongoing political maneuvering and speculation regarding potential alliances and rivalries within the political landscape.
