Retired Brigadier General Ofer Winter Launches New Right-Wing Party in Israel

Retired Brigadier General Ofer Winter officially announced the formation of his new political party in Israel during a special launch event. After weeks of private meetings and maintaining media silence, the former commander of the Givati Brigade is now entering the political arena with a clear agenda aimed at right-wing voters. Winter has so far declined offers to join or merge with existing right-wing parties, seeking instead to present an independent alternative.

Winter introduced key members of his party, including spokesperson Yosef Hadad, journalist Netali Shem Tov, attorney Eran Ben Ari who serves as the opposition chairman of the Israel Bar Association, Sigal Kraunik, widow of Chief Military Prosecutor Barak Eric Kraunik, David Ben Zion, deputy head of the Shomron Regional Council, and Aviv Ezra, chairman of the Reservists Movement "Generation of Victory." The political establishment is closely monitoring Winter's move as he aims to attract right-wing voters with his new platform.
