"We don't gamble with security, with existence, with identity. Don't vote for someone who doesn't pass the electoral threshold by a million percent, so we don't wake up like in '92 to a left-wing government with our enemies that will bring us disasters," Smotrich stated. He emphasized his desire to continue advancing security, settlement, Jewish identity, judicial reforms, and the Judaization of the Galilee and Negev.
"Go vote, bring your family, your friends, everyone you know. This is the day when we, the citizens of Israel, take responsibility for the State of Israel, the one and only Jewish state," he concluded.
