Gadi Taub Warns Of Ofer Winter Joining Lieberman To Break Right-Wing Bloc

Journalist and author Dr. Gadi Taub responded to a report by Michael Shemesh on Channel 13 claiming that Ofer Winter does not rule out joining a coalition under Avigdor Lieberman. Taub expressed no surprise, comparing it to unexpectedly finding a biscuit at the bottom of a Krembo. He stated that Winter is not part of the right-wing bloc and will wait for Lieberman to oust Naftali Bennett and remain under him in exchange for the defense portfolio. Taub added that while he is unsure if Winter will agree to sit with Mansour Abbas, Winter will have no problem participating in efforts to dismantle the right-wing bloc, hoping the Likud will collapse.

Taub is not alone in his criticism; right-wing circles have recently attacked Winter, accusing him of irresponsibility that endangers the bloc. Even extremists warn that Winter might ally with Benny Gantz if Benjamin Netanyahu fails to form a government. Winter is expected to announce the formation of his party and possibly reveal some of its members later today. The political landscape remains uncertain as Winter’s moves could significantly impact coalition dynamics in Israel.
