Political commentator Tamir Murg made an unusual plea to viewers of Channel 14 during a broadcast, asking them to turn off their televisions and instead call supporters of the right-wing bloc who had not yet voted. "Turn off the screen and lower our ratings," Murg stated, emphasizing that the coming hours were critical. He urged viewers to contact friends and acquaintances who support the right and persuade them to go to the polls, framing the election as a crucial battle.
Murg explained that his request was based on observing a broad, spontaneous civilian mobilization in recent days, where tens of thousands of people independently encouraged others to vote. He assured viewers that he and the channel would remain on air throughout the night, ready to resume broadcasting and boost ratings once the voting efforts were complete. "Now go convince people to go out and vote," he instructed.
