Dozens of people gathered in Tel Aviv's Habima Square on Tuesday evening to celebrate the preliminary results of the elections, based on exit polls released by Channels 11, 12, and 13. The polls indicated that left-wing blocs held a slight lead over their rivals. Participants waved flags, sang songs in Arabic and Hebrew, and some even entered the square's fountain. Yael Anker, a correspondent for Channel 14, reported that the atmosphere was festive, with people embracing and dancing. She noted that after "Song for Peace" was played, a medley of Arabic songs followed, accompanied by some attendees criticizing her presence. Anker also recounted an incident where an individual on a bicycle approached her, questioning her reaction to their celebration. She and her cameraman relocated after the encounter.
The "Song for Peace" has recently been a subject of controversy, having been performed at the "Disengagement Festival" in southern Israel, near the site of the Nova music festival massacre on October 7, 2023. On Habima Square, observers noted individuals wearing keffiyehs and t-shirts bearing the insignia of the Democrats party and its leader, Yair Golan.
