Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held numerous calls with right-wing activists and key figures in the final hours before elections, seeking to garner more votes for the right-wing bloc. During one conversation with Itcha Dzalovski, manager of the Haredi line, Dzalovski conveyed the anger of the Haredi community over unfulfilled promises regarding the status of yeshiva students.
Netanyahu responded by questioning their sanity, asking if they wanted the left to win. In the background, his wife, Sara Netanyahu, was heard exclaiming, "We will die, we will all die!" Dzalovski insisted that the Haredi public wanted guarantees, to which Netanyahu replied that with only an hour and a half left, guarantees were impossible.
