  "account": "Yoseph Haddad, a public diplomacy activist, announced on Tuesday that he would be joining Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael party as its deputy. Haddad explained that he decided to enter politics due to a perceived need for a new right-wing party that brings fresh perspectives and understands the Middle Eastern mentality. He argued that public diplomacy is essential to Israel's national security and aimed to be Israel's next public diplomacy minister, as well as the first Arab member of Israel's security cabinet. Haddad emphasized that Israel needed a unifying approach to challenge the status quo and ensure the IDF's success. He also criticized Arab parties for not representing Arab society's interests and vowed to replace them with Knesset members who work for Israel's benefit.",
