Polling data is unsettling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political coalition as a new right-wing party led by former general Ofer Winter gains traction, the Shehab Wire reported. The emerging party appears poised to draw votes from existing right-wing factions, complicating Netanyahu's electoral math and forcing his allies to compete for the same voter base.
The party's rise reflects mounting tensions within Israel's right-wing political landscape. Winter's entry into the race has triggered alarm among Netanyahu's supporters, who fear a split in their vote could weaken their overall parliamentary strength. The new faction has begun targeting disaffected voters from the prime minister's existing coalition partners.
