Sharren Haskel Vows to Run Despite Threshold Doubts, Sara Beck Urges Prioritizing Israel First

Sharren Haskel, chairwoman of the Israel First party, affirmed her commitment to run in the upcoming elections despite concerns her party might fail to cross the electoral threshold. In an interview with Sara Beck on Channel 14, Haskel emphasized that they are determined to continue because there is a significant voter base seeking a political home. She expressed confidence that Israel First will surpass the threshold, citing past polling errors that underestimated other parties which later succeeded.

Sara Beck pressed Haskel repeatedly on the potential consequences if Israel First does not pass the threshold, particularly the risk of harming the right-wing bloc. Haskel responded by highlighting the unreliability of polls and the resilience of parties previously written off. At the conclusion of the interview, Beck conveyed a message to Haskel, saying, "I hope you will be wise, and truly put Israel First."

The exchange underscores the tension within right-wing politics about smaller parties' viability and their impact on the broader political landscape ahead of the elections.
