Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has personally entered the field to boost the Likud party's election campaign, expressing concern about losing power. He stated, "I am going out to wake up the field because we are in a tie and could lose." Netanyahu also criticized the candidacies of Ofer Winter and Yaron Zeilikha, warning that votes cast for their parties could harm the right-wing bloc. He explained that votes for smaller parties might be lost if they do not pass the electoral threshold, effectively transferring those votes to the left. "It's not personal, it's national," Netanyahu declared, framing the election as a struggle for the composition of the next government rather than a personal dispute with Winter and Zeilikha. His actions come as part of the Likud's intensified efforts to increase voter turnout among its supporters and the broader right-wing bloc ahead of election day.
