Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Monday evening, just hours before polling stations opened for the Israeli legislative elections. He prayed at the site and placed a handwritten note between the stones. The message read, "For the lives of the IDF soldiers, our heroes, for victory over our enemies, and for the success of our people." It concluded with the biblical phrase, "The Eternal of Israel does not lie." This visit is a customary act for the prime minister, who traditionally visits the Western Wall before each election. In contrast to a prayer left before the 2020 election, which explicitly sought a "good government for the people of Israel," this year's public message focused on soldiers, victory, and the future of the Jewish people, without direct mention of the vote.
