Illustration by baba

What happened

  1. 01The Am Israel party, led by Ofer Vinter, accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday of spreading fake news to weaken their movement.
  2. 02Netanyahu warned on X that voting for Vinter's party would lead to a left-wing government including Gadi Eisenkot, Avigdor Lieberman, Yair Golan, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
  3. 03Am Israel claimed Netanyahu's campaign against them aims to facilitate the appointment of Gadi Eisenkot as Defense Minister, which they termed a danger to national security.
  4. 04The party questioned why Likud is investing significant resources to thwart them, stating they cannot be bought or controlled.
  5. 05Am Israel criticized the current coalition's reliance on Goldknopf and its failure to advance key security and social policies.
  6. 06The party's platform includes integrating the Haredi community into the IDF, encouraging voluntary emigration, and achieving a decisive military victory.

Am Israel claimed that the Likud party is investing significant resources to thwart their movement because they are strong and cannot be controlled. The party alleged that Netanyahu's campaign against them is designed to weaken their influence and pave the way for appointing Gadi Eisenkot as Defense Minister, a move they warned would pose a serious threat to national security.

Netanyahu responded on the social media platform X, warning that voting for Vinter's party would lead to the establishment of a left-wing government. According to Netanyahu, such a coalition would include Gadi Eisenkot, Avigdor Lieberman, Yair Golan, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

In response, Am Israel asserted that only their movement can prevent such a government. The party criticized the current coalition's reliance on Goldknopf and outlined its own policy goals, which include integrating the Haredi community into the IDF, encouraging voluntary emigration, and achieving a decisive military victory over terrorism.
