Will Ofer Winter's new party damage the right-wing coalition?

That's what some are worried about:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday again warned that Ofer Winter’s new People of Israel party could cost the outgoing right-wing coalition essential seats if it runs alone in the upcoming election, urging Winter to meet with him and address the issue.

Netanyahu’s concerns came as he has so far been unsuccessful in his efforts to unite parties in his bloc ahead of a September 8 deadline to finalize slates before the October 27 election, risking votes backing him as prime minister being wasted if one or more of the smaller parties fail to cross the electoral threshold.

“I’m concerned that this party could do one of two things: either waste votes or cause one of the parties I mentioned to fall [below the electoral threshold],” the prime minister said during an appearance on the pro-Netanyahu Channel 14.

Netanyahu asserted that Winter was drawing almost no support from voters backing rivals B’Yachad chair Naftali Bennett or Yisrael Beytenu chair Avigdor Lieberman and urged him to coordinate with the broader right-wing camp.

“I say to Winter: Let’s meet, let’s talk. Immediately. To prevent a situation in which a party like this brings down the bloc,” Netanyahu said, while also confirming reports that the two have already met to discuss the issue. According to those reports, Winter refused the premier’s request to coordinate.

Winter rejected Netanyahu’s comments, saying in a statement that his party is “part of the right-wing camp” but “doesn’t work for anyone — only for the people of Israel.”

I think it's a shame if Winter's not cooperating. What if he ends up causing the kind of damage a bad lot like Naftali Bennett did a number of years ago? I'd like to think his entry into politics is a welcome one, but if he's splitting the right, that's not a good omen, and he may end up being blamed for bringing down the government for the sake of a left-wing one, which we do not need even now.
