Avishai Ben Haim addressed the possibility of Ofer Winter joining the political camp opposing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He framed the issue not as a matter of right or left ideology, but as a sociological question about which political alliance Winter might align with. Ben Haim contrasted two camps he terms "Second Israel Alliance" and the opposing group that seeks to boycott it, which he describes as excluding Netanyahu supporters and certain military service groups.

Ben Haim argued that the key dividing line is whether Winter's allegiance lies with the "Second Israel Alliance" or with the camp that excludes it from political participation. He cited the unusual political coalition between figures like Naftali Bennett and Yair Golan as evidence that the opposition to Netanyahu transcends ideology and is instead rooted in a shared goal to marginalize Netanyahu's base.

He claimed that the organizing principle of this opposition camp is to boycott and exclude Netanyahu supporters, particularly those from the "Second Israel" who serve in the military, thereby undermining their political partnership and pride. Ben Haim concluded by posing a direct question about Winter's role: whether he will assist in the effort to depose Netanyahu, who has empowered his voters, or not.
