Netanyahu issues ’emergency’ about purportedly low turnout in Likud strongholds
After projecting confidence about high levels of support for Likud, Prime Minister Netanyahu switches to warning about an “emergency” in areas where the party has traditionally done well in elections.
“Emergency report: Low voting levels in Judea and Samaria [West Ban], Eilat, Tiberia, Netivot, Migdal Haemek, Kiryat Gat, Kiryat Ata,” Netanyahu writes on his Twitter account.
Blue and White chief Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s centrist rival, also looks to boost turnout in areas where his party has fared well, visiting Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv to implore Israelis to vote.
