Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich are launching a joint initiative aimed at increasing voter turnout among right-wing supporters. The program, spearheaded by the Likud and Religious Zionism parties, seeks to "awaken" approximately five Knesset seats worth of potential voters.
Notably, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir will not be participating in this joint effort, with the article suggesting the move is "too political." The initiative focuses on mobilizing voters who may not typically turn out on election day, with the goal of strengthening the right-wing bloc in the upcoming elections.
The specific mechanics of the plan were not detailed, but its stated objective is to ensure a higher percentage of the electorate votes, thereby maximizing the representation of right-wing parties in the Knesset.
