Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appealed to residents of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) to help increase right-wing voter turnout in the upcoming elections.
In a message, Netanyahu praised the residents for "guarding the heart of our land" and developing the region, stating, "We are in danger because the left is flying in thousands [of people] to come to the ballot box, and I need your help. Go out and bring our people to the ballot box." He added, "If you do this job together, we will succeed and together we will win."
The "Winning Right" campaign headquarters is preparing to deploy volunteers from Judea and Samaria settlements to cities identified with the Likud party. These volunteers will go door-to-door to encourage voters to cast their ballots, a tactic reminiscent of the opposition to the disengagement plan. The initiative aims to reach right-wing supporters who back the camp but do not typically vote.
Under this plan, settlements in Judea and Samaria will "adopt" target cities. Each council will coordinate volunteers for its assigned city and organize their transportation. Local teams will then guide the activists to specific neighborhoods and activity hubs.
This effort is spearheaded by a joint headquarters for the Likud and the Religious Zionism party, led by Yisrael Gantz, Head of the Binyamin Regional Council and Chairman of the Yesha Council, with campaign leaders Yonatan Ahiya and Beraleh Krumby. Simultaneously, the headquarters is mobilizing thousands of volunteers from various religious educational institutions and other activists nationwide. Within the settlements themselves, teams will work to boost local voting rates.
