Amcha Yisrael poll setback Haddad clip and campaign row

Oct 4

Yaara Shapira revisits the previous day's Kan poll showing Amcha Yisrael below the electoral threshold for the first time since its launch, with the studio wording giving 2.5–2.6 percent. She links right-wing attacks to the resurfacing of a five-year-old interview in which Yoseph Haddad supported an Israeli state alongside a Palestinian state. She says Haddad later changed his mind following Operation Guardian of the Walls. Ofer Winter defends him and says the campaign's critics lie; Likud-linked criticism and Natalie Shem Tov's objection to dishonest campaigning are included. The party blames coalition attacks for the poll result and believes it can recover. The reporter says most polls currently support Winter's claim that Netanyahu cannot form a government without him. This is a campaign assessment, not an election result or proof that the clip caused the polling change.

Kan says Amcha Yisrael came under right-wing attack on October 4 after a five-year-old interview resurfaced in which Yoseph Haddad supported two states. The reporter says Haddad changed his view after Operation Guardian of the Walls. Winter supports him, and the report preserves criticism and the party's allegations of dishonest attacks. The resurfacing and campaign response are the occurrence; the short original interview clip does not establish a separately catalogued 2021 statement.
