The Am Yisrael electoral list issued a campaign message Monday declaring its ambition to surprise in the upcoming Knesset elections and bring a 'new spirit' to the legislature, according to the statement.
Am Yisrael (the Amcha Israel party) issued a campaign message Monday evening declaring its ambition to surprise in the upcoming Knesset elections and bring a 'new spirit' to the legislature, according to the statement. The brief announcement provided no further details on the list's platform, leadership, or policy positions.
The development follows earlier reports on Monday. At 15:51 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the party, headed by former IDF Major General Ofer Winter, submitted its candidate list for the 26th Knesset. Party CEO Avraham Rahamim told Knesset Channel 99 that the party is running independently and called it 'the next big thing,' asserting that 'the right-wing bloc is us.' The same hour, Channel 12 political correspondent Daphna Liel confirmed that Winter leads the list.
The campaign message arrives amid a broader election buildup. As The Zioneer reported Monday, Likud MK Moshe Saada expressed openness to forming a broad national unity government with any Zionist party sharing Likud's ideological lines. Political commentators have noted shifting dynamics in the race as parties finalize their lists.
What remains open: The party has not disclosed its full platform or policy positions beyond Winter's leadership and Rahamim's earlier remarks. The statement did not address whether the list intends to join an existing political bloc.
