Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has intensified efforts to mobilize right-wing and ultra-Orthodox voters, issuing a stark warning about the potential consequences of low turnout. In a live radio interview with Kol Barama, Netanyahu criticized what he described as complacency among supporters of the national and ultra-Orthodox camps.
He accused the left-wing of actively bringing in voters from abroad, contrasting this with lower participation rates in right-wing strongholds. "The left is flying people in from America, thousands of kilometers away. Can't you walk a few meters from your home to the polling station?" Netanyahu questioned.
The Prime Minister issued a direct appeal to the ultra-Orthodox and religious public, stating that failing to vote would lead to a "cry for generations," harming Torah study and the values of the Jewish state.
This interview follows a series of videos and messages released by Netanyahu in recent hours, all aimed at boosting voter turnout among his supporters as polling stations prepare to close.
