Minister of Communications Shlomo Karai issued a warning to right-wing voters on election day, citing a significant increase in voter turnout in Arab communities and left-wing strongholds. Karai urged the public to head to the polls before they close, stating that while the right-wing had increased its turnout, its relative advantage had diminished throughout the day.

He specifically noted a sharp rise of approximately 72% in voter participation in Arab towns compared to the same time in the previous election. Karai also observed that turnout in left-wing and centrist strongholds was higher than in right-wing strongholds.

"The challenge is greater now, but we can win, with God's help!" Karai emphasized. He expressed concern about the potential formation of a government supported by Arab parties and called on Likud voters to mobilize and increase their participation. "Every vote counts. Go vote, call family and friends, and get them to the polls too. Likud voters!" he urged.
