The far-right minister Ben Gabir arrived in the "Russian" city of Bat Yam to shout his support on the beach. Today there are parliamentary elections in Israel with an extremely high voter turnout: at 14:00 it was already 44.9%. One of the most controversial ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu's government, Itamar Ben Gabir, who heads the far-right party Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power), arrived in Bat Yam to campaign for himself. Bat Yam is considered one of the largest residences of the Russian diaspora in Israel: immigrants from post-Soviet countries make up to a third of its population. From a tower on the beach the minister shouted "Vote for Ben Gabir" into the sea. We note that a significant part of his election campaign was the adoption of the law of hanging those convicted of terrorism: Ben Gvir made badges in the form of loops that the deputies punished on their lapels as a symbol of this campaign, and as soon as the law was passed, the minister uncorked the champagne and drank it together with his colleagues in the parliament.
