Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich will officially launch the initiative at a "Saving the Right" event in Jerusalem, which will also be attended by prominent rabbis and heads of institutions from the Religious Zionist community, including Eliakim Levanon. The program, referred to as the "Doubling Plan" or the Likud's "Golden Clusters" plan, focuses on four main strategies: door-to-door canvassing in strategic locations, providing assistance to voters facing difficulties reaching polling stations, mobilizing community leaders, and conducting telephone campaigns.

The initiative will target areas with historically low voter turnout, particularly focusing on neighborhoods categorized as Likud strongholds that showed high support but low overall turnout in past elections. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and his Otzma Yehudit party are not participating in the joint effort. According to Kan News, Otzma Yehudit views its exclusion from the plan as an attempt to sideline the party.
