News anchors Ilana Dayan and Rafi Reshef of Channel 12 garnered significant online attention for their subdued reactions while watching Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's victory speech on election night. Their expressions, described by some as a "Tisha B'Av face," became a major talking point on social media.
Netanyahu, speaking from the Likud headquarters, addressed supporters and criticized what he called "propaganda channels" for allegedly misrepresenting the Likud's expected seat count in pre-election polls. He asserted that the Likud emerged as the largest party in Israel, a claim supported by all exit polls released that evening.
Exit polls from various channels indicated the Likud party securing between 24 and 30 seats, positioning it as the leading party in the election results. One social media user contrasted Dayan and Reshef's reactions with earlier comments by Channel 13 anchor Lucy Aharish, who had predicted a strong Arab voter turnout. The user expressed satisfaction with the Likud's success despite perceived attempts to undermine it, attributing it to divine favor.
