Despite exit polls indicating that the Amcha Israel party will not pass the electoral threshold, party officials remain optimistic. Gefen Brailovsky, the party's Head of Youth Staff, stated in a conversation with Channel 7 that the movement is confident the final results will differ from the projections. Brailovsky reported positive feedback from voters throughout election day and expressed belief that as votes are counted, it will become clear they have surpassed the threshold.
Brailovsky dismissed claims from some on the right that the party's participation would lead to wasted votes. She argued that the real problem is repeatedly voting for the same parties without expecting change. Amcha Israel aims to offer new leadership, composed of individuals not responsible for decisions made before October 7th, who have emerged from the crisis with a desire for national change.
She emphasized that even if the party does not enter the Knesset, its members intend to continue their public and political activities. However, Brailovsky stressed that the party is not preparing for this scenario, given the support they believe they have received since their founding two months ago.
When asked about the disappointment stemming from the polls, Brailovsky compared it to the difficult and dangerous experiences of many party activists, who are reservists. She stated that the disappointment from the exit polls does not compare to their military service experiences, and therefore, they have no intention of breaking or giving up.
