Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana has publicly requested that Winter step down from the electoral race. Ohana argues that such a candidacy poses a significant threat to the unity and success of the right-wing political bloc. Referencing the 1992 election, the Speaker warned that internal divisions within the right can lead to electoral losses, even when the bloc collectively secures a majority of the popular vote. By highlighting historical precedents where the right failed to form a government despite strong support, Ohana emphasized that internal fragmentation remains a greater strategic risk than opposition from the left. His comments reflect concerns regarding the potential for wasted votes to undermine the right-wing coalition's prospects in the upcoming contest.
