Following a significant electoral setback, Avi Maoz, chairman of the Noam L'Yisrael party, sent a letter to his activists admitting that the party may have made mistakes. The party garnered only 6,219 votes, failing to cross the electoral threshold. Maoz expressed surprise at the election results, which fell far short of the party's internal projections and expectations.
In his letter, Maoz acknowledged the party's inability to translate public support into actual votes, stating, "People supported us but did not vote for us, this is a fact." He conceded that the party might have "given undue weight to certain data over others." Maoz also referenced the party's internal polls, which he claimed were accurate at the time and reinforced the belief in their growing support, especially in light of pressure from other right-wing bloc leaders to withdraw from the race.
Maoz defended the party's assessment that the right-wing bloc would not achieve a majority of 61 seats, citing the strong performance of Arab parties as a validation of their concerns about the country's identity. He urged his activists to remain steadfast, highlighting the party's success in raising awareness about the Jewish identity of the State of Israel. He concluded by stating that the party would conduct a thorough self-examination and make necessary corrections to grow its influence.
