After running campaigns on the left: The appointment of media advisor Ofer Rosenbaum as campaign manager for Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and the Otzma Yehudit party drew criticism on the left - and a particularly harsh reaction from his friends.
In an interview that Rosenbaum gave to Itamar Fleischman and Noam Amir on Gali Israel radio this morning (Thursday), he said: "I did not expect the intensity of the anger I received from people on the left, even from those who are very close to me. It is on the level of those who informed me on WhatsApp that they were no longer willing to be in contact with me and blocked me.".
He emphasized: "I am neither right-wing nor left-wing, I am a campaigner with a goal, of interest and challenge. Today I am with that one and tomorrow with someone else.".

Yesterday, in a hearing at the High Court of Justice, Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir launched his party's campaign. The Walla website revealed that the person behind the campaign is strategist and campaigner Ofer Rosenbaum, who recently began working with him ahead of the elections.
The publication sparked widespread criticism of Rosenbaum, who served as chief of staff of the civilian investigation committee established by bereaved families of October 7.
After the publication in Walla, Rosenbaum tweeted: "Very happy to announce this very precise connection. In preparation for the upcoming elections, I will collaborate with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir as a strategic advisor and campaigner. In the attached photo: This is not a campaign, this is a warning sign in preparation for the High Court hearing to impeach Ben Gvir. This is a warning sign that warns - impeachment will lead to a constitutional crisis, so what do you say? DON'T.".
