Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar expressed grave concern on Kol Barama radio this morning regarding undecided right-wing voters, warning that their votes could be lost to parties failing to pass the electoral threshold. "I am very worried, the danger of the right-wing public voting for parties that do not pass the blocking percentage is tangible," Sa'ar stated during the interview. He cited historical political events within the national camp as lessons from the past, which he claimed altered the country's trajectory. Sa'ar specifically recalled the 1992 elections, where, he asserted, right-wing parties failing to cross the threshold allowed the left to secure 61 mandates and bring about the Oslo Accords. "We are still seeing the results today," he added, emphasizing the long-term consequences of that mandate loss.
