The "Yamin Magen" (Victorious Right) campaign has launched a large-scale, nationwide ground operation aimed at mobilizing right-wing voters to the polls. Over 4,500 volunteers are participating in the "Door-to-Door" initiative, utilizing hundreds of buses and vehicles to reach residents in major cities across Israel. The operation, which follows weeks of recruitment and organization, focuses on encouraging potential right-wing voters who typically do not vote to cast their ballots.

Volunteers will be active in cities including Jerusalem, Beersheba, Netanya, Ashkelon, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Sderot, Tiberias, Ramla, Rehovot, Rishon LeZion, and Petah Tikva. Local campaign teams will direct activists to neighborhoods with high potential right-wing support but low voter turnout rates. The effort is supported by a network of coordinators who have connected local councils and communities with target cities.

Residents from Judea and Samaria are at the forefront of the operation, traveling to cities to assist in maximizing right-wing votes. Alongside thousands of volunteers from educational institutions and activists from across the country, they form the "patrol" of the right-wing bloc, aiming to convert support into actual votes. Simultaneously, community command centers will work to increase voter turnout within Judea and Samaria itself.

Israel Gantz, head of the joint campaign for the Likud and Religious Zionism parties and head of the Binyamin Regional Council and the Yesha Council, stated, "Today we are going out with great force on a mission that can decide the election. More than 4,500 volunteers are taking responsibility for the country's future and going out to bring victory." He emphasized the commitment to reaching every door and fighting for every vote, aiming to turn the large public support into a decisive win. The campaign estimates that approximately 300,000 potential right-wing voters do not currently vote, and this operation is specifically targeting them until the polls close.
