Former Gideon Sa'ar Spokesman Joins Ofer Winter Ahead of New Party Launch
Michael Maoz, previously the spokesman for Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, has been appointed as the spokesman for Ofer Winter, who is set to launch his new political party this evening. This development comes amid warnings from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has recently cautioned against Winter's party and other small right-wing factions, claiming they threaten the right-wing bloc and could lead to his government's downfall.
A recent Channel 12 poll indicates that Winter's party is crossing the electoral threshold for the first time, securing four seats. This rise comes at the expense of the Religious Zionism party led by Bezalel Smotrich, which falls below the threshold. The poll also shows the opposition bloc growing to 71 seats, including 60 from Zionist parties, while the governing coalition shrinks to 49 seats.
In related political commentary, a journalist from Haaretz has surprisingly expressed support for Moti Steinmetz, as reported by the news outlet Srugim.
