Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Monday evening, ahead of the official opening of the election campaign the following morning. The Prime Minister was seen writing in the guest book and placing a note between the stones of the Wall. His note, released by his office, read: "To the life of the IDF soldiers, our heroes, for victory over our enemies, for the success of our people, the Eternal One of Israel will not lie!" Sara Netanyahu was observed wearing a black head covering at the site.
Netanyahu frequently visits the Western Wall, particularly before significant or fateful events. Notably, he visited the Wall the evening before the start of the war with Iran, accompanied by Argentinian President Javier Milei. This tradition of visiting the Wall before crucial moments is not unique to Netanyahu. Last week, the Chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, Gadi Eisenkot, also visited the Western Wall before the elections, reportedly facing jeers from some worshippers there.
