Sheran Israel, chairwoman of the "Israel First" party, experienced a significant electoral defeat, failing to surpass the electoral threshold. Reports indicate she received fewer votes than a "King's Messenger" figure. In response to the results, Israel posted a statement expressing pride in her message and attributing the outcome to political polarization between blocs. She called for the formation of a broad national unity government, excluding Haredi and Arab parties, which drew widespread mockery online.
Israel thanked her activists, acknowledging the difficulty of her campaign for a "broad national government" amidst a polarized election environment. She praised her supporters for standing with her "like a solid wall without a budget, when everyone was working against us." She analyzed the election results as "terrible for the State of Israel," claiming that figures like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich mobilized Arab citizens to vote for anti-Zionist parties.
Her proposed solution was a broad national government, urging politicians to set aside egos and animosity. The post sparked considerable ridicule on social media, with users comparing her vote count unfavorably to individuals with symbolic props and noting the disparity between her words and votes. Regarding campaign funding, Israel stated the party operated with a minimal budget, relying on donations.
