Small Jordan Valley community votes overwhelmingly for Blue and White
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week announced his plans to annex the Jordan Valley after the election, in a bid to boost his electoral prospects.
It seems at least one Jordan Valley community was not impressed. In the small community of Tomer, 205 voters voted overwhelmingly for Netanyahu’s rival Blue and White.
Benny Gantz’s party received 45% of the vote, while Likud took in only 29%. Next in line was Labor-Gesher with 8% followed by Yamina with 7%.
