Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich warned right-wing voters to cast ballots, citing what he characterized as unprecedented turnout among Palestinian citizens of Israel, according to Middle East Eye. Smotrich framed the electoral dynamic as a threat from a "dangerous left-wing" faction.
The remarks appeared designed to energize his political base ahead of voting, presenting Arab voter participation as a counter-mobilizing force for right-wing supporters.
