Retired Major General Yossi Bachar, a candidate for the Religious Zionism party, has launched an unprecedented initiative to persuade undecided voters ahead of the upcoming elections. Bachar announced the establishment of a special command center, or 'hamal,' dedicated to convincing wavering voters, and has personally published his phone number to field direct calls.
The initiative, which will run for the next 36 hours and continue through election day, aims to mobilize existing voters to convince undecided individuals to vote for parties within the "national camp." The slogan for the campaign is "We Vote. We Persuade. We Multiply," emphasizing the potential impact of each voter persuading just one undecided person.
This move comes amid concerns within the right-wing bloc that votes could be fragmented among smaller parties that may not pass the electoral threshold, potentially leading to the formation of a left-wing government. Bachar's personal involvement is intended to serve as a significant force multiplier for the Religious Zionism party and the broader right-wing coalition.
A message distributed to activists stated, "Do you have a friend who is undecided about voting for Religious Zionism? The command center of Israel's hero, Major General (res.) Yossi Bachar, is here to help! Send Yossi the phone number of undecided voters, tell him what is important to them, and he will help you persuade them." Bachar's personal number is 055-272-5083.
The Religious Zionism party commented that Bachar joined them to demonstrate how settlement is Israel's security buffer and that he is personally mobilizing to prevent a dangerous left-wing government from taking power. They urged the public to persuade undecided voters and reach out to Bachar for assistance.
