Far-right minister Itamar Ben Gabir shared a post on X saying that anyone who is not loyal to Israel should not be given the right to vote, and then detailed what he is proud of: making the lives of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons "hell". Ben Gebirs' words come after Palestinians inside Israel were found in large numbers in the elections that Israel presents as proof of its democracy; Vote against him and against the far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich, whose policy includes more house demolitions and the Judaization of Arab cities. Residents of Rahat said that the destruction of his home in the Bedouin settlements and his failure to address the violence in Arab towns were the reason they voted, and one said that he "succeeded in uniting Israeli Arabs." Senior Likud officials accused Ben Gvir of bragging about this policy online, which they say brought Arab voters to the polls.
