Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chairman of the Religious Zionism party Bezalel Smotrich are launching a joint initiative aimed at mobilizing hundreds of thousands of potential right-wing voters, particularly those who might otherwise abstain from voting. The plan, spearheaded by Netanyahu and Smotrich with the involvement of Yisrael Gantz, head of the Benjamin Regional Council, seeks to "awaken" approximately five Knesset seats worth of right-wing voters. The operation is expected to reach around 200,000 potential voters.
The program is structured into four main stages designed to move potential voters to the ballot box. The first stage involves door-to-door canvassing by activists in strategic locations to persuade undecided voters. The second stage focuses on providing physical assistance to voters who face difficulties reaching polling stations, aiming to remove technical barriers to voting. The third stage will see key community figures actively engaging voters on election day to encourage them to vote. The final stage includes a targeted phone bank operation to reach audiences not covered by the door-to-door efforts.
Parties involved define the strategy using a "multiplication equation": institutions multiplied by activists multiplied by doors or telephones. This approach is projected to engage approximately 200,000 potential voters, which they estimate translates to nearly five Knesset seats. Beyond the organizational aspect, the launch signifies a direct collaboration between Netanyahu and Smotrich leading up to election day, with Gantz playing a central role in managing the ground operations for the parties.
