- Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called an emergency meeting over high voter turnout.
- The meeting addresses unusually high participation in the Arab community and left-wing areas.
- Party sources warn smaller right-wing parties may not pass the electoral threshold.
- A right-wing victory depends on voting for parties certain to clear the threshold.
Minister of Finance and Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich has altered his election day schedule to convene an emergency meeting at his party's headquarters. The urgent discussion was called in response to unusually high voter turnout figures recorded so far within the Arab community and in traditional strongholds of the left.
According to an official statement from the party, the decision to hold the emergency meeting stems from the exceptionally high participation rates observed in these sectors. Party officials stated that these numbers necessitate a reassessment of the situation as the crucial election day progresses, particularly for the right-wing bloc.
Sources within the Religious Zionism party warned that the high overall turnout, described as a 53-year record, significantly diminishes the chances for smaller parties within the right-wing bloc to overcome the electoral threshold. They emphasized that a victory for the right depends solely on voting for parties that are certain to pass the blocking percentage.
