Channel 12 news anchor Danny Kushmaro addressed the voting patterns of Ofakim's Mishor HaGefen neighborhood during Friday night's "Studio Friday" broadcast, expressing puzzlement over the high level of support for Prime Minister Netanyahu's bloc despite the severe terror attack the neighborhood endured on October 7.
"Look at this, for example, the Mishor HaGefen neighborhood in Ofakim. On October 7, terrorists who drove Toyotas some 25 kilometers from the Gaza border entered there, went house to house through the neighborhood and murdered 33 of the neighborhood's residents. Thirty-three killed from just one small neighborhood. A terrible failure," Kushmaro said.
He then connected the tragedy to the residents' voting behavior: "So what. Three years later, the Mishor HaGefen neighborhood gave 65 percent to the Netanyahu bloc, on whose watch this disaster happened."
