  • Amit Segal criticized the Religious Zionist sector for wasting right-wing votes over the past decade.
  • Segal blamed parties and candidates from the sector for "strategic blunders" and "political immaturity."
  • He named Moshe Feiglin, Naftali Bennett, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Noam party, and Ofer Winter as examples.

  • Segal previously criticized Netanyahu for a "difficult strategic mistake" in his conflict with Winter.

Political commentator Amit Segal has sharply criticized the Religious Zionist sector, attributing the loss of right-wing votes in recent elections to parties and candidates emerging from this community. Segal argued that this has led to "strategic blunders" and "political immaturity," causing the country to be thrown into turmoil repeatedly. He specifically pointed to the "burning of right-wing votes" over the past decade, naming Moshe Feiglin, Naftali Bennett, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Noam party, and Ofer Winter as examples.

Segal's remarks come in the context of the 26th Knesset elections, where Ofer Winter's "Am Ich Israel" party is significantly below the electoral threshold. This criticism follows Segal's own previous critique of Prime Minister Netanyahu, whom he called out for making a "difficult strategic mistake" in his struggle against Winter.
