Just under two hours before exit polls were to be released, Yinon Magal, host of the program 'The Patriots,' expressed concern regarding the projected performance of Arab parties in the Knesset elections. Magal stated, "From what I am hearing on Arab 'panic channels,' they are heading for 18 mandates." This projection comes as voter turnout reached 74.3% by 8 PM, an increase of approximately 8 percentage points compared to the same time in the 2022 elections. High turnout was observed throughout the day, with long queues reported at polling stations across Israel. The elevated participation rate is partly attributed to increased turnout among Arab voters.
