Hundreds of volunteers from the Samaria region traveled to the city of Lod on Tuesday as part of the V26 initiative, aiming to increase voter turnout. The volunteers engaged in a house-to-house campaign in various neighborhoods, receiving further assignments after completing each area.

A briefing prior to their deployment included remarks from Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Samaria Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan, Lod Mayor Yair Revivo, and Deputy Samaria Regional Council Head Davidi Ben Zion.

Minister Sa'ar emphasized the election's significance for the existence of the Jewish state, warning against potential sanctions and the imposition of a Palestinian state. He urged volunteers to defend Israel's rights and interests, stressing the importance of their work in the remaining hours until polls close.

Yossi Dagan highlighted a "brotherhood pact" between Samaria and Lod, forged during the 2021 "Guardian of the Walls" events. He stated that the volunteers, from Samaria and across the country, are working diligently to secure four years of national development, security, and honor.

Mayor Yair Revivo drew parallels between the development of Samaria, settlements, and the periphery, including Lod. He called for a final push to get out the vote, asserting that Lod and Samaria are united and will continue to see Israel develop.

Davidi Ben Zion, coordinating the organizational efforts in Lod, described the elections as crucial for deciding the war's outcome, strengthening settlements, and securing the future for children. He urged Israelis to vote, calling it a simple action with dramatic value.
