National Security Minister and Otzma Yehudit Chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir is urging the right-wing camp to avoid complacency, revealing internal poll data that suggests a very close race ahead of election day. Speaking on the radio program "Pתchi and Zamri Ba'am" on Radio Galey Israel, Ben-Gvir discussed the projected seat distribution. "What I see currently, at least in my internal polls, is a tie," the minister disclosed. "I believe if we give a push and if we truly mobilize the people who need to vote, we can win."
"I don't see what Filber sees right now. I am conducting polls. I see sixty-sixty right now, but I assume and know that victory is possible."
Ben-Gvir emphasized that the key to victory lies in voter turnout in right-wing strongholds compared to the Arab sector. "If the right receives higher voter turnout in its cities, we win. If not, I definitely see the Arabs. It also comes to me because they are sending [messages] about me: 'Let's bring down Ben-Gvir, let's get rid of Ben-Gvir.'"
Concluding his remarks on the election, the National Security Minister called for full mobilization of activists and voters. "If we are sleepy, we will sit and cry the next day. I am doing everything to get as many people out as possible. I believe we can win these elections."
