Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Likud field activists on Thursday, describing the upcoming election as "crucial" and warning of severe consequences if the "second camp" wins. He characterized the opposition as controlled by individuals who would lead to a "Palestinian state, surrender, defeat, and legal dictatorship." Netanyahu emphasized the primary danger, stating, "What will happen to us in front of our enemies. We have struck them hard, but the task must still be completed. Only we can complete the task."
Speaking at a rally, Netanyahu urged activists to bring voters to the polls, asserting that "the scales are balanced" and that "the right hand will decide." He expressed confidence in the activists, stating, "I trust you. We have worked together for many years." The remarks were made in the context of a joint Likud and Religious Zionism initiative aimed at increasing turnout among an estimated five million right-wing voters who had not planned to vote.
Netanyahu also commented on current polling, telling activists, "The elections are currently close. We are in a tie. Not what you hear in the studios of commotion, and not the more optimistic prophecies." He reiterated the urgency, stating, "The elections are currently close. We are on borrowed time. The elections will be decided by the narrowest of margins."
