Despite the lower-than-usual voter turnout in today’s municipal elections, Interior Minister Moshe Arbel says he is satisfied with the way in which they were held in light of the war.
“Despite the difficult times we are going through – the residents of the country came out to vote and make an impact,” he says from the election day headquarters in Tel Aviv.
“This is a badge of honor for everyone who came to the polls with the aim of shaping the faces of the communities where they live in the next five years. Good luck to all the candidates.”
