Panelist Yaki Adamker sharply criticized Ofer Winter's candidacy in the upcoming elections during the 'HaPatriotim' program on Wednesday, warning that Winter's participation could lead to the downfall of the right-wing government. Adamker directly addressed Winter, questioning how he would live with the consequences if his campaign results in a right-wing defeat.
Adamker posed a hypothetical scenario: "Ofer Winter needs to think in his head about one situation. He wakes up next Wednesday morning and sees the real results of 59 mandates, after he burned two mandates and brought down the right-wing government. How does he continue his life with this event?"
Adamker also recalled a previous commitment made by Winter during an interview on the same program. According to Adamker, Winter had pledged to act responsibly and withdraw if he did not gain sufficient public support, specifically if polls indicated he would not pass the electoral threshold. "I will always remind everyone of this fact. Ofer Winter sat here in an interview on HaPatriotim and said one thing: If we reach before the elections and see that in the polls we are not passing the electoral threshold, I will show responsibility just as I have shown responsibility at all junctures in my life," Adamker stated.
Concluding his remarks, Adamker urged Winter to honor his promise and withdraw from the race, given his current standing in the polls, to avoid jeopardizing the right-wing bloc. He questioned why Winter was not acting on his previous commitment, asking, "And the question that is asked is what has changed? Why is Ofer Winter not showing responsibility and withdrawing from the race now?"
