Parties exhaust themselves by the end. Five electoral rounds have passed, and the sixth is just around the corner. Thus, the audience started feeling exhausted.
This election campaign appears to be apart from past ones in one essential way: this time, Benjamin Netanyahu is the head of the opposition, attempting to reclaim his position. Yair Lapid, on the other hand, will enter the current elections from a comfortable position as Prime Minister. He could accomplish a lot in four months. Not only that, but he assured the crowd that they would not be sorry if power remained in his hands.
Benny Gantz, the third contender, believes he is the best candidate for the position but lacks the necessary qualifications. Members of the parties split away from him in search of more stable parties as a result of him being this way, and in light of the succession of operations being carried out in the West Bank. The Jewish Home has abandoned Ayelet Shaked because they believe she will not be able to cross the electoral threshold.
The Haredi parties rely on demographic growth. However, the Labour Party and Meretz couldn't come together. Thus, what will really decide the elections will not be electoral campaigns and propaganda but rather voter turnout, with an emphasis on the Arab community. According to the polls, the United Arab List, and the Arab Joint List pass the electoral threshold at this moment, and if they do not pass it, the government will be within Netanyahu's reach.
