Despite previously stating he would not meet with sitting politicians, People of Israel party chairman Brig.-Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter privately met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss joining Likud, N12 News reported. Netanyahu offered Winter a reserved slot on the Likud list, which Winter reportedly rejected before launching his own party. However, Winter later endorsed Netanyahu for prime minister. This decision led to questions about his potential openness to joining a different government, prompting him to clarify, "We will not dance to anyone's tune."
