After Vinter refused to withdraw from the race despite pressure and a ministerial offer, the coalition now aims to minimize his vote count by appealing to right-wing voters. This new strategy seeks to prevent votes from being wasted below the electoral threshold.

The Israeli coalition has reportedly changed its strategy regarding Ofer Vinter, chairman of the Amcha Israel party, in the final week before elections. Initially, significant pressure was applied, including a ministerial offer from Bezalel Smotrich, to convince Vinter to withdraw from the race and avoid splitting right-wing votes below the electoral threshold. However, Vinter has shown no signs of withdrawing.
Following Vinter's refusal to step down, coalition sources indicate a new approach: instead of pushing for his withdrawal, the focus is now on minimizing his support. A senior coalition source stated in closed conversations that Vinter has "climbed too high a tree" by refusing an offer that would have advanced his party's values and will likely not agree to withdraw. The new objective is to peel away right-wing voters from Vinter, leaving him with only a few supporters who would not vote for national camp parties anyway.
The coalition now aims to reduce the number of votes Vinter receives as much as possible. It remains to be seen whether this strategic shift will succeed in limiting Amcha Israel's support or if right-wing votes will still be wasted below the electoral threshold.
