Avi Shoshan, a panelist on the Channel 14 program 'The Patriots,' has declared his intention to vote for Ofer Vinter in the upcoming elections, expressing support for Vinter's party, 'Am Israel.' Shoshan stated that criticism and doubts about the party's ability to pass the electoral threshold would not sway his decision. He believes the top four candidates on Vinter's list are superior to any candidates in the second or third tier of other parties. Shoshan asserted that despite a month and a half of "spin" aimed at undermining Vinter due to concerns about him not crossing the threshold, he would still follow his conscience.

Shoshan further expressed his desire to see Vinter and Netali Shem Tov in the Knesset. He criticized Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's treatment of Vinter, calling the attempts to discredit him unjustified and viewing Vinter's decision to continue his candidacy as a sign of leadership. "I want Ofer Vinter in the Knesset, I want Netali Shem Tov in the Knesset, and I think the Prime Minister is making a mistake by trying to eliminate a true right-wing man," Shoshan said, adding that the "delegitimization" of Vinter was "terrible and awful." He believes his sentiment reflects that of many Israelis and praised Vinter for running to the end, demonstrating leadership and perseverance.
