Internal political polls, including those conducted by the "change bloc" parties, indicate that Brigadier General (res.) Ofer Winter and his party, 'Amcha Yisrael,' are not expected to surpass the electoral threshold for the Knesset. This development comes amid heightened political pressure within the right-wing bloc in the final stretch before elections.
Concerns are rising within the right-wing camp about a potential waste of tens of thousands of votes. In response to these poll results and the associated fears, a significant move is planned for early this week. At the urging of Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the chairman of the Religious Zionism party, prominent rabbis within the Religious Zionist movement are expected to issue a public call to Winter. They will reportedly demand that he immediately announce his withdrawal from the Knesset race.
