Samaria Volunteers Mobilize in Lod to Boost Right-Wing Voter Turnout

Hundreds of volunteers from the Samaria region arrived in the city of Lod on Tuesday as part of a joint initiative by V26 and the "Saving the Right" campaign, aiming to increase voter turnout in the elections. The volunteers are conducting a door-to-door canvass in Lod's neighborhoods, urging residents to vote in the remaining hours before polls close.

A briefing was held prior to their deployment, attended by Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Head of the Samaria Regional Council Yossi Dagan, Mayor of Lod Yair Rabivo, and Deputy Head of the Samaria Regional Council Davidi Ben Zion. During the briefing, volunteers received their assignments and were dispatched to various neighborhoods. Upon completing their tasks in each area, they returned to the campaign headquarters for further instructions.

Foreign Minister Saar emphasized the election's significance, 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. It depends on all of us working in the remaining hours until the polls close."

Yossi Dagan highlighted the connection between Samaria residents and Lod, forged during the 2021 "Guardian of the Walls" events. "We have a brotherhood since the 'Guardian of the Walls' events in 2021, when people from Samaria came here, and you came to strengthen us at the beginning of the war. We are brothers and we are together," Dagan said. He added, "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 Rabivo welcomed the volunteers and spoke about the city's development, noting, "I assume you no longer recognize Lod. There are new towers, roads, and parks here. The Land of Israel is developing, Samaria is developing, the settlements are developing, and the periphery is also developing." Rabivo urged activists to utilize the final hours, stating, "We still have a few hours to act, and this is the time to go door to door and get people out to vote. Lod and Samaria are together, and God willing, we will continue to see the Land of Israel develop."

Davidi Ben Zion, who is coordinating the organizational effort in Lod with Tzvi Goren, stressed that the activity would continue until the last voting hours. "We have a responsibility to the people of Israel and the Land of Israel, there is no room for complacency or indifference. These elections are important for deciding the war, for strengthening the settlements, and for the future of our children. We are here in the city of Lod to go house to house and tell Israelis: Go to the polls now. It is a short and simple action, but its value is dramatic."
