Political commentator Amit Segal believes that if Ofer Vinter's "Amcha Yisrael" party successfully crosses the electoral threshold and enters the Knesset, the Likud party will embrace them. Segal responded "Certainly" when asked on Instagram if Likud would welcome Vinter's party should they pass the 4-seat minimum. This prediction comes despite Prime Minister Netanyahu's significant efforts to persuade Vinter and his associates to withdraw from the race. However, Segal noted that given Netanyahu's history of political alliances with former rivals like Benny Gantz and Gideon Sa'ar, it is plausible he would also cooperate with Vinter if "Amcha Yisrael" secures enough seats. Vinter's party has been hovering around the electoral threshold since its formation two months ago, reportedly due to pressure from the Prime Minister's campaign.
