Israelis have the day off on polling day. Many flocked to the beach in Tel Aviv and Yaffa. MEE spoke to beachgoers on their take on the election:
Bat-Shachar is from an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank and has come to spend the day on the beach in Tel Aviv.
The 20-year-old says she’ll be voting for Ayelet Shaked’s far-right Yamina party. “She supports the settlements and religious people in Judea and Samaria,” she tells MEE.
Her friend Adil, 21, voted Likud. “This land is for the Jewish people and only Netanyahu can give us security,” he says.
