Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Western Wall late Monday, hours before polling stations opened for the Knesset elections. He placed a note among the stones containing prayers for the safety of IDF soldiers, victory over Israel's enemies, and the success of the nation. "To the lives of IDF soldiers, our heroes, for victory over our enemies and for the success of our people," Netanyahu wrote, signing the note with the phrase "The Eternal One of Israel does not lie."

Netanyahu has made a tradition of visiting the Western Wall to pray before each election cycle. In 2020, his note read, "I pray that in a final great effort, we will bring a good government to the people of Israel, the Land of Israel, and the State of Israel."
