Einat Klein, the wife of musician Andrei Makarevich, cast her vote in the Israeli parliamentary elections, publicly announcing her support for Bezalel Smotrich's party. Klein stated that it is crucial for her to have politicians in the Knesset who advocate for the country's interests in Judea and Samaria, a region she believes a significant portion of the population identifies with, despite such political forces sometimes being labeled as "sectoral."
She emphasized that Israel should move beyond its previous "status quo" policy and clearly define its position on territorial issues. Klein linked her stance to the official incorporation of historically and archaeologically significant territories into the state's map, expressing a desire for Knesset members who share these views.
This political alignment contrasts with a video released days earlier by Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu, featuring a conversation with Makarevich. Klein's choice aligns her with a different party on the right-wing spectrum.
The article also notes other election-day developments, including a 55.7% voter turnout by 4 PM, concerns from the "Yahadut HaTorah" party regarding increased turnout in the Arab sector, clashes at polling stations in Rahat and Zar'a, an assault on a Channel 14 journalist in Haifa, and high voter turnout in Arab communities. Smotrich called an emergency meeting due to the high turnout, and an attorney, Filber, commented that the high turnout could significantly alter election results, potentially determining the Supreme Court's future for 30 years.
