On election day, Israeli media personality Noa Dromi issued a sharp warning, urging the public to confront the reality of a declining Europe and recognize Israel's unique existential threats. She argued that while Europeans had the excuse of not immediately identifying the danger to their liberal continent, Israel lacks this privilege. Dromi described Europe, once the cradle of Western culture and a beacon of liberalism, as "dying before our eyes," suggesting that being surrounded by their own people may have blinded Europeans to the threat, a luxury Israelis do not have.
Dromi contended that the October 7th massacre should have created absolute security consensus on core issues: prohibiting reliance on foreign forces for security, halting the entry of Palestinian laborers, recognizing settlement as a prime security asset, and understanding that "being the most moral army in the world is immoral towards ourselves." She criticized current debates for mirroring the divisions of the 1990s, particularly around the Oslo Accords and the disengagement from Gaza, stating that the ideologies of the political camps have not changed.
She characterized the current election as a choice between a "militant, messianic, and frightening right" and a "familiar left" holding onto past beliefs. Dromi also criticized politicians like Gadi Eisenkot for advocating increased work permits for Palestinian laborers and refusing to commit to not transferring responsibility for Gaza to the Palestinian Authority. She also mentioned Avigdor Lieberman's proposal for Jordanian forces in Areas B and C, Naftali Bennett's past statements on demolishing structures in Judea and Samaria, and the rhetoric of their "Democrats" partners regarding settlers.
Concluding her remarks, Dromi stressed that despite personal disagreements with figures like Benjamin Netanyahu, Bezalel Smotrich, or Itamar Ben-Gvir, a fundamental alignment on core security issues is imperative. She stated that broad agreement on Israel's essential security matters and the understanding that "what is right for Israel is right-wing policy in its various shades" should be self-evident.
