Israel Hayom: Highest election turnout in years expected

Israel Hayom expects this week's Israeli elections to see the highest turnout in years, possibly the highest this century. It notes that the most optimistic scenario for the opposition is forming a minority government and, more importantly, preventing the right-wing bloc from winning. It considers Netanyahu's strategic decision to attack Ofer Winter will have a major impact on the elections, as Winter's party appears in polls within the 'left bloc,' and Netanyahu decided to bring it down based on his firm belief that it will go to Lieberman. It adds that the right-wing bloc after October 7 is not large enough to absorb a major loss of votes, and that Winter, three Haredi parties, and Noam may be the deciding factor between a tie and a loss, or between a win and a tie.
