Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly reassuring National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir regarding election turnout. Recent preliminary voting data released by the Central Elections Committee indicates a potential shift, with right-wing voter turnout possibly catching up to historical levels and narrowing the gap with the left. Analysis of early results from traditionally Likud-leaning cities, which had shown lower-than-expected participation earlier in the day, suggests a late surge in voting is expected to close at least some of the deficit accumulated during the morning hours.
