Yotam Zamri Criticizes Channel 12 Poll as Fear Tactic Against Right-Wing Voters
During a broadcast on Channel 14's program The Patriots, panelist Yotam Zamri sharply criticized a recent Channel 12 poll claiming that 25% of Israelis would leave the country if Benjamin Netanyahu were re-elected as prime minister. Zamri argued that the poll's purpose was not to reflect reality but to create a false sense of disaster should the right-wing win. He said the poll aimed to scare right-wing voters into switching their support to left-wing parties by suggesting that a right-wing victory would lead to chaos. Zamri reassured viewers that if the right wins, "the sun will rise, the birds will sing, and the flowers will bloom," emphasizing that nothing worse than usual would happen. He also highlighted Israel's resilience, noting it is "the only country people run to in times of war." Zamri's comments reflect ongoing political tensions and attempts to influence public opinion ahead of elections.
