Nissim Louk, the father of the late Shani Louk, has withdrawn from the election race and declared his support for the "Am Israel" party, led by retired Brigadier General Ofer Winter. Louk, who previously headed the "Orot HaShachar" list, announced his full endorsement of Winter's campaign, stating his belief that Winter is the only leader capable of facilitating a complete evacuation from Gaza. Louk praised Winter as a determined and faithful leader prioritizing Israel's security and highlighted that the "Am Israel" party, being new, was not involved in the events leading up to the October 7th massacre, making it a viable alternative to the current leadership.
Joining Louk in endorsing Winter is the Directorate of the Ethiopian Immigrant Community, chaired by former Knesset member Dr. Alali Admasu. This support follows meetings between the Directorate's representatives and "Am Israel" officials, where agreements were reached on key issues for the community, including family reunification, equal opportunities, and combating racism. Dr. Admasu, who previously served as Israel's Ambassador to Ethiopia, urged members of the Ethiopian immigrant community to support Winter and his party in the upcoming elections. Admasu had initially been active with the "Beiteinu" party led by Naftali Bennett earlier in the election cycle but has now officially shifted his and the community directorate's support to "Am Israel."
