The Likud party is preparing for election scenarios where they emerge as the largest party, potentially in a tie with their bloc, or with a slight loss of mandates. While acknowledging that the situation is fluid before polls close, party officials believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign strategy has successfully consolidated votes within his bloc, drawing support from other parties in the bloc. However, even with this consolidation, Likud anticipates that neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposing bloc, led by Gantz, will be able to form a government independently.
In such a scenario, Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to address the public early, declare victory as the largest party, and call for a broad unity government. Draft messages for this potential speech include appeals for parties to rise to the occasion and join a wide unity government, citing existing challenges. The party is bracing for outcomes ranging from being the largest party to a slight deficit in seats.
