Ofer Winter, chairman of the Am Israel party, has called for a new national-rightist leadership that is "determined to win" and free from "political maneuvering." Winter, a former IDF general who served for 34 years, stated that the events of October 7th compelled him to enter politics, a decision he had previously resisted.
He argued that despite the "supreme heroism" shown by soldiers and civilians since the war began, the "order to decide has not yet been given" and the "conception" that led to the current situation persists. Winter emphasized the need for internal unity to achieve victory, quoting scripture to highlight that Israelis are "brothers." He believes the public is not as divided as polls suggest, attributing division to the "old politics" that focuses on impossibilities.
Winter asserted that his party, Am Israel, believes in the possibility of overcoming these challenges, uniting secular and religious, Jewish and non-Jewish individuals to prioritize the national interest over personal ego. He urged voters not to be intimidated by fears that their votes would be wasted, encouraging them to choose "decision, unity, and a new path" over "conception and division."
