Following calls for his withdrawal, Ofer Winter, chairman of the Amcha Yisrael party, stated that he is 'running until the end.' Winter attacked Likud Minister Shlomo Karhi: 'Today he calls me 'Palestine,' a brigade commander of the Givati Brigade, a fighter in the Israel Defense Forces. Who gave you the right to distribute grades in love of the country? The right does not belong to anyone.'
