Netanyahu's power threatened by new right-wing parties

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is actively campaigning against the rise of new right-wing parties that threaten his government's standing ahead of elections in two months. He is directly appealing to voters, urging them "Don't waste your vote" on these newer factions.

Don't waste your vote.

One significant challenger is Ofer Winter, a controversial former general leading the "Amcha Yisrael" (Israel's People) party. Winter's platform includes controversial proposals like "mass migration from Gaza," which critics have labeled as ethnic cleansing. He has rejected an offer to join Netanyahu's Likud party, indicating a desire to disrupt the existing political landscape.

Another figure gaining attention is Yoseph Haddad, a Christian Palestinian citizen of Israel who has become a prominent pro-Israel voice online. Haddad, who has joined Winter's party, advocates for integrating the Arab population within Israel and opposes a Palestinian state. His inclusion adds a unique dynamic to the emerging political scene.

Whoever thinks that people, after October 7, will accept that everything remains the same in the political sphere, without new blood entering the system, is very wrong.

While several new parties are vying for votes, "Amcha Yisrael" shows significant poll numbers, potentially drawing support away from Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's party, a member of Netanyahu's current coalition. Netanyahu is framing the election as a choice between his government and a potential "fascist regime" that could restrict freedoms and shut down media outlets.

If the opposition wins, a fascist regime will rule Israel.
