Res. Col. Ofer Winter, chairman of the 'Imcha Yisrael' party, said in a statement to the media that "in recent days we are seeing how they are trying to dismantle us by any means - with spin and lies. They are trying to frighten the public that is fed up with the old politics. It won't work. The people of Israel want integrity, truth and ideology." He added: "The team sitting behind is united to act for the people to bring good news. We are determined to serve those who serve. We intend to bring about the integration of the ultra-Orthodox public into the IDF without compromise."
