Netanyahu: Otzma Yehudit ‘very far’ from entering Knesset
With scarcely four hours left till polls close, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu turns on the extremist Otzma Yehudit party, insisting in a Twitter post that the party is “very far from the electoral threshold. Every vote for Otzma will get thrown out. Our fight with Lapid-Gantz is closer than ever,” he warns, and urges right-wing voters to vote Likud.
