Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich attacked Imekh Yisrael party chairman Ofer Winter, who submitted his party's list without uniting with another list. "His decision to run independently is a gamble on the future of right-wing rule and the State of Israel," Smotrich claimed. He also said: "The only ones who stand to gain from Winter's refusal to unite in the national camp are Gali Baharav-Miara, Yitzhak Amit and their friends on the left. Winter's stubborn refusal of every proposal for unity in the national camp is very disappointing and casts a heavy shadow on his judgment and on the credibility of his promise to recommend Netanyahu for prime minister and to go only with the national camp. A true right-winger does not take a risk this time. Vote Religious Zionism."
