With one week left until Israelis go to the polls, pressure is mounting inside the right-wing bloc over the question of wasted votes. Yaakov Bardogo, a Likud Knesset candidate, has issued a sharp call to Amcha Yisrael party chairman Ofer Winter, urging him to honour a promise and withdraw from the race to prevent damage to Likud and the right-wing bloc.
In an interview with Walla, Bardogo revealed that he met with Winter for an extended conversation in his office about a month ago. According to Bardogo, Winter gave him an unequivocal commitment during that meeting: if his party does not show stability in the polls heading into election day, he will pull out.
