  • Ofer Winter accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of lying and insulting bereaved families.
  • Winter claimed Netanyahu wrongly identified him as the right-wing's problem.
  • Winter criticized the government's handling of security and Haredi conscription.
  • Winter predicted his Am Israel party would be the "surprise of the elections."

Ofer Winter, chairman of the Am Israel party, fiercely criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, responding to recent remarks made by the premier. Winter questioned Netanyahu's assertion that he is the problem for the right-wing, asking, "Prime Minister, so after you smeared, lied, insulted bereaved families, and more, now you say the right's problem is Ofer Winter?"

Winter expanded his critique to encompass the government's handling of security issues and the conscription of ultra-Orthodox men into the IDF. He argued that the true problem for the right is not the failure to integrate Haredim into the military, nor perceived indecisiveness in Gaza, nor Hezbollah's renewed preparations for attack, nor a government video suggesting an imminent Iranian nuclear strike. Instead, Winter stated, "The problem for the right is Ofer Winter."

Concluding his remarks, Winter urged his supporters to remain steadfast, stating, "Whoever believes in our path is not afraid of lies, will go tomorrow with their heart and vote Am Israel with all their might. With God's help and with your help, we will be the surprise of the elections."
