Finance Minister and Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich issued an urgent appeal to right-wing voters on election day, warning them against casting ballots for parties that may not pass the electoral threshold. He cautioned that such votes could be wasted, potentially impacting the overall strength of the right-wing bloc. Smotrich drew a historical parallel to the 1992 election, which led to the Rabin government, stating, "To this day, we are licking the bleeding wounds." He emphasized in a video message that the election is at a critical juncture, with polls showing a close race. "Dear Channel 7 surfers, we are on a decisive day for the future of the State of Israel. The polls are very borderline and the elections will be decided by voter turnout and the question is whether the right will throw votes in the trash," he said. The Religious Zionism party has established volunteer centers across the country and launched social media campaigns to encourage public participation and support for the party and the national camp.
