Israeli Right-Wing Candidate Winter Withdraws from Knesset Race, Sends Message to Netanyahu

Davidi Ben-Tzion (Winter), deputy head of the Shomron Regional Council, has withdrawn from the Knesset race and submitted his list, sending a message to Netanyahu's associates. The move follows concerns about vote loss in the right-wing bloc and internal criticism from Smotrich, who warned that only opponents would benefit from the refusal to unite. The development signals internal friction within Israel's right-wing political camp ahead of elections.
