Despite devastating losses and hardships experienced since the October 7th attacks, long-time Likud supporters in Israeli border communities remain steadfast in their allegiance to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his party. A report spoke with four such voters in Kiryat Shmona, Sderot, Netivot, and Ofakim, areas that have borne the brunt of recent conflicts.

Surprisingly, voting percentages in these locations have not shown a significant decline in support for Netanyahu or his bloc, indicating a resilience in their political stance. This loyalty persists even after the immense challenges and tragedies these communities have faced over the past year.

The findings suggest a disconnect between external perceptions of political shifts and the reality on the ground in these heavily impacted areas.
