Support for Israel's far-right parties has risen sharply among first-time voters, according to Middle East Eye. Ben Gvir and Smotrich's parties are projected to capture 16 percent of votes from new voters, outpacing Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud party in this demographic.
First-time voters are backing the far-right parties more heavily than established voting blocs, a reversal of traditional patterns in Israeli electoral support.
