Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yachad party, cast his vote in Ofakim on election day, marking the start of his election campaign activities. He was accompanied by local resident Shira'el Chogeg and list member Nir Hajbi.

Eisenkot addressed the current complex period for Israel, stating, "Three years ago, a very difficult period for the State of Israel began here. Today we are starting a new path, with a shared future of healing and repair." He urged the public to vote for his party, "Yachad," to "have the power to bring about change and a better future for all citizens of Israel."

His choice to begin election day in Ofakim, a city in the periphery, is seen as symbolic. Later in the day, Eisenkot is scheduled to visit Kibbutz Nir Oz, located in the Gaza envelope, which was severely impacted by the October 7th attack. He will be joined by Gadi Moses, a kibbutz member and a survivor of captivity, for this visit. The journey from Ofakim to Nir Oz is intended to symbolize national unity and the need for reconciliation.
