Netanyahu worries election will be lost if people don't go out to vote
Israel HaYom spoke with the prime minister, who's worried that the right isn't as determined to win the election as thought:
The prime minister is worried, maybe even stressed – a description he likes for his enemies. One night last week, Netanyahu was sitting with his campaign advisers, including expert pollsters, and after an in-depth review of the polls, they concluded that the problem on the Right – particularly the Likud – was insouciance.Well he's right about that. Though the polls may be moving more in their favor, they could lose if not enough people vote. So everyone who understands the issues at stake would do well to mobilize and go out to vote on April 9, for the sake of the country's safety and stability.
Netanyahu thinks this is an issue that will decide the election, or at least he is intentionally giving off that impression.
“Significant percentages of nonvoters could cost us two more seats. With gaps like these, there’s a possibility we could lose the bloc, and the gap between us and Lapid-Gantz could increase by five more seats,” he says.
When Israel Hayom asks him if this factor is going to lead to a Likud loss, Netanyahu says, “We’ll definitely lose [if people don’t vote].”
