Amcha Israel Defends Haddad Against Smotrich Over Archived Palestinian-State Remarks
Published
Amcha Israel defended its No. 2 candidate, Yoseph Haddad, after Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich reacted to reports about Haddad's past support for a Palestinian state. The party characterized the criticism as a coordinated attack built on archive material from years earlier. Its response contrasted candidates entering politics with established political figures and argued that historical statements could be examined on both sides. The exchange followed renewed scrutiny of Haddad's earlier comments on Palestinian statehood, with the party directing its response at Smotrich.
