Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and Benjamin Regional Council Head Yisrael Gantz are launching the Likud party's "Golden Clusters" program on Thursday. The initiative aims to mobilize right-wing voters who had not planned to vote in the upcoming elections. The program will focus on areas with historically low voter turnout and will employ four main strategies: door-to-door canvassing in strategic locations, providing assistance to voters unable to reach polling stations, deploying "key figures" within communities, and phone banking targeting audiences in areas where direct canvassing is not feasible.
The Likud party hopes this plan will bring in 200,000 additional voters, translating to approximately five Knesset seats. The program emphasizes close cooperation among parties, though Otzma Yehudit, led by Ben Gvir, is not participating. The "Golden Clusters" plan, first reported in September, categorizes Likud strongholds into "pure gold," "gold," and "silver" tiers based on past voting percentages. The focus is on "pure gold" neighborhoods, which showed high Likud support but low overall turnout.
