Seeking to drive up support for their respective blocs before polls close in just over 3 hours, both Prime Minister Yair Lapid and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu assert the race is neck-and-neck.
“We received data from the entire country… Unsurprisingly it is indeed very, very, very close — by a hair,” Lapid says in a video statement from his Yesh Atid party’s campaign headquarters.
Netanyahu puts out a similar statement.
“We are in a tie with Lapid,” he declares. “The race is very close.”
