Samaria Volunteers Mobilize in Lod to Boost Voter Turnout

Hundreds of volunteers from the Samaria region arrived in the city of Lod on Sunday as part of the V26 initiative and the "Saving the Right" unified headquarters, aiming to increase voter turnout. Prior to their deployment, a briefing was held with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Head of the Samaria Regional Council Yossi Dagan, Mayor of Lod Yair Revivo, and Deputy Head of the Samaria Regional Council Davidi Ben Zion.

Volunteers were assigned tasks and dispatched for door-to-door campaigning in Lod's neighborhoods. Upon completing their rounds in each area, they returned to headquarters for further assignments. During the briefing, Foreign Minister Sa'ar emphasized the significance of the elections, stating, "This day is about a Jewish state and the existence of the Jewish state. There are countries that want to impose sanctions on us and force the establishment of a Palestinian state. We need people who know how to stand up for our rights in the Land of Israel and for our interests. This depends on the work of all of us in the hours remaining until the polling stations close."

Yossi Dagan highlighted the strong bond between Samaria and Lod, referencing a "brotherhood pact" formed during the 2021 "Guardian of the Walls" events and mutual support during the current war. He stated, "Hundreds of volunteers from Samaria and across the country have come here, and we are going house to house, apartment to apartment, and building to building. It's in our hands, we are not getting tired, and we are dedicating the remaining hours to bring four years of building the land, security, and national honor to the State of Israel."

Lod Mayor Yair Revivo noted the city's development, mentioning new towers, roads, and parks, and drew parallels with the growth in Samaria and other settlements. "We still have a few hours to act, and this is the time to go from house to house and get people out to vote. Lod and Samaria are together, and God willing, we will continue to see the Land of Israel develop," he said.

Davidi Ben Zion, who is coordinating the organizational effort in Lod with Zvi Goren, stressed the responsibility towards the nation and the land, urging against complacency. "These elections are important for deciding the war, for strengthening the settlement enterprise, and for the future of our children. We are here in the city of Lod to go from house to house and tell Israelis: Go to the polls now. This is a short and simple action, but its value is dramatic," he stated.
