Hendel Urges Winter to Form Anti-Haredi, Anti-Arab Coalition Bloc

Yoaz Hendel, chairman of the Reservists-Economic Party, proposed to Ofer Winter, chairman of 'Am Ech Israel,' to sign a surplus agreement and form a coalition bloc excluding Haredi and Arab parties. Hendel argued this is necessary for a "Zionist government" capable of advancing universal conscription and winning the war. He criticized Haredi parties for seeking draft deferments and Arab parties for not recognizing Hamas as a terror group. Hendel urged Winter to abandon plans to join a Netanyahu-led government with Haredi parties.
