Ofer Winter Refuses to Quit Knesset Race Amid Pressure

Ofer Winter, chairman of the Am Israel party, has rejected pressure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to withdraw from the Knesset election race. Smotrich had offered Winter a ministerial position and authority over immigration and Haredi recruitment if he withdrew. Winter stated his party entered politics to bring change and serve soldiers, not for personal gain, and outlined conditions for cooperation, including a law for reservists and voluntary immigration from Gaza. He positioned his party as crucial for forming a right-wing government and preventing a left-wing one.
