Five heads of right-wing organizations have called on candidate Ofer Winter to withdraw from the upcoming election race, citing his party's failure to pass the electoral threshold in recent polls. The leaders warned Winter that his continued participation could harm the right-wing bloc and potentially lead to a "disaster for the people of Israel." They reminded Winter of his past commitment not to damage the right-wing's chances and urged him to demonstrate responsibility by stepping aside.
The appeal comes amid a decline in Winter's party's support, which has consistently fallen below the 3.25% electoral threshold in polls. The organization leaders emphasized the critical nature of the upcoming elections, expressing concern that a "left-wing Arab government" could undermine the achievements made by security forces during the recent conflict. They stressed that national security is not a matter for gambling and implored Winter to prioritize the country's well-being over personal ambitions.
The signatories included Gilad Ach, chairman of Dor HaNitzachon; Yehoshua Shani from the Gevurah Forum; Kfir Zer, chairman of the War Wounded Forum; Meir Deutsch from Regavim; and Beraleh Crombie from the Tkuma Movement.
