'Bennett II': Ben-Gvir refuses to sign vote surplus share agreement with Winter's People of Israel
Middle East2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported52m ago
Right-wing Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir has refused to sign a surplus-vote agreement with Ofer Winter's People of Israel party ahead of the October 16 deadline to submit such agreements. Ben-Gvir justified his decision by labeling Winter "Bennett II," drawing a parallel to former prime minister Naftali Bennett.
In response, the People of Israel party criticized Ben-Gvir's refusal, urging him to "grow up" and accusing the far-right minister of choosing to "throw votes in the trash." Winter's faction warned that the move risks wasting valuable right-wing votes in the upcoming elections.
