In depth

Chairman of the Noam party, MK Avi Maoz, voted at a polling station in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem and warned that the party was expected to strengthen during the day. According to him, "Noam Lahisrael wanted to the end, and God willing there will be an election surprise".

After election day, Maoz wrote to activists in a letter, admitting that the party had failed to translate public support into actual votes, and writing: "We may have erred by giving excessive weight to certain data over others". According to Arutz Sheva and Israel Hayom, Maoz wrote that "people supported us but did not vote for us".
