Hebrew · Sole source

Two members of the Am Israel party, led by Ofer Winter, are considering leaving the party, according to journalist Boaz Golan. Dovidi Ben Zion is expected to announce his decision soon. The potential resignations are linked to the party's low polling numbers, around 2%, which is below the electoral threshold. This situation raises concerns about potentially harming the right-wing bloc's overall performance.

  • Two members of Ofer Winter's Am Israel party are considering leaving.
  • Dovidi Ben Zion is expected to announce his decision in the coming days.
  • The party is polling at approximately 2%, below the electoral threshold.
  • There are concerns the party's participation could harm the right-wing bloc.

Journalist and presenter Boaz Golan reported on Channel 14 that two individuals within the Am Israel party, led by Ofer Winter, are contemplating leaving the party. One of these individuals is reportedly Dovidi Ben Zion, who is expected to announce his decision in the coming days.

The potential departures stem from the party's current standing in opinion polls, where it is polling at approximately 2% and failing to cross the electoral threshold required for Knesset representation. There is also a concern that the party's continued participation in the election under these circumstances could negatively impact the broader right-wing bloc.
