Field days, phone calls, ads, posters, social networks, house meetings and mass conventions – three days before Election Day, political parties are making a last ditch effort to draw in voters.
All parties, left and right, are operating under the same assumption: Many potential voters are still undecided and may provide them with the much coveted extra Knesset seats. They will spend the next couple of days prior to the elections trying to secure their votes.
Likud-Beiteinu
Attempting to reverse the drop in the polls, the Likud-Beiteinu campaign has decided to focus its efforts on an "alarming" message: Benjamin Netanyahu's victory is not guaranteed and the Left may still succeed in forming a government with Shas.
Nearly all party representatives warned against voting for other parties in the Right – especially Habayit Hayehudi. "A Likud government isn't a given," said MK Ofir Akunis. "If, as the polls predict, we'll get only 32 Knesset seats there's a chance the 1992 scenario will repeat itself and the Left will form a unified bloc and will form the next government."
