Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich are set to launch a joint initiative aimed at increasing voter turnout on the right. The plan's objective is to bring approximately 200,000 potential voters to the polls, a number estimated by parties to represent about five parliamentary seats. This initiative, which will be led in cooperation with Yisrael Gantz, head of the Benjamin Regional Council and chairman of the Yesha Council, includes coordinated efforts on election day and synchronized messaging among parties.
The program will focus on four main areas: door-to-door canvassing in strategic locations, providing assistance to thousands of voters facing difficulties reaching polling stations, mobilizing key figures within various communities, and operating a telephone campaign targeting voters unreachable through ground operations. Parties are referring to this effort as the "Doubling Plan," based on the formula: institutions multiplied by activists multiplied by doors and telephones. Their assessments suggest this activity could reach around 200,000 potential voters.
The launch of this plan signifies a further strengthening of cooperation between Netanyahu and Smotrich, which has developed during their joint work in the government and security cabinet, and has become even more pronounced during the war. The two now seek to translate this partnership into joint political activity in preparation for the upcoming elections.
