A political commentator expressed strong trust in former IDF general Ofer Winter and argued that he should join either Likud or Otzma Yehudit rather than run with an independent party, calling a separate list a waste of right-wing mandates.
The commentary, published Friday, adds to the ongoing public discussion about Winter's political future. The Zioneer has previously reported on Winter's exploration of a new right-wing party, his refusal to join Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism, and his consideration of an independent run. The commentator's recommendation aligns with the view that a fragmented right-wing vote could cost the camp seats.
