Yair: Vote only Likud or Smotrich

The prime minister's son posts an urgent call to right-wing voters as polls close, warning of low turnout in nationalist strongholds and record Arab voting

Yair Netanyahu

Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, published a sharp and unusual post on social media this evening, calling on right-wing voters to head immediately to the polls out of a sense of national emergency.

"Right-wingers, go vote, it's not too late! I just voted now!" wrote Yair Netanyahu after casting his ballot.

The younger Netanyahu addressed turnout figures and warned of their impact on the seat distribution and government formation: "The Islamists voted today in the highest numbers in history, while turnout in right-wing strongholds is low. Our country is in danger!"

He went on to paint a grim forecast for the composition of the next government if right-wing voters stay home: "A left-Muslim Brotherhood government is about to rise here that will destroy the state! Go vote as if your lives depend on it, because that's the truth. We are in danger of annihilation!"

He closed with a focused call to vote for the bloc's parties: "Vote only Likud or Smotrich!"
