A Gazan commentator, Taysir Abd, has interpreted the high voter turnout in Israel's Bedouin communities in the Negev as a deliberate effort to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. Abd stated in Arabic that the "raid on the ballot boxes in the Negev, on camels, donkeys, and any riding beast that can help achieve the goal: to bring down Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich." He further claimed that even the animals destroyed in Gaza "hate them and are rushing to make their way to bring about their downfall."
