New Right takes cue from Likud, warns it’s losing because of low turnout

New Right party leader Naftali Bennett issues an emergency call for support, claiming his party is in “a bad situation,” in his own “gevalt” campaign some six hours before polls close at 10 p.m.

Saying the party has been hurt by claims by Likud and United Right-Wing Parties that they could, respectively, lose to Blue and White or fail to pass the electoral threshold, Bennett urges activists to spread similar claims about New Right.

“I ask you to say that those campaigns are incorrect, and that instead, it is we who are in real danger,” he implores his party’s activists.

“If we do not change the vote trend, we will wake up tomorrow with Ayelet Shaked no longer justice minister, and us having lost our ability to influence.”
