In front of an enthusiastic and good spirited crowd in Tel Aviv Saturday night, the four leaders of Blue and White expressed in turn hope for a new political dawn. They also expressed outrage against what they portrayed as the misdeeds and offenses of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government.After fading in the polls over the last week and a half, Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid, Gabi Ashkenazi and Moshe Yaalon took turns to rally the crowd and energize the partys activists to regain the partys earlier momentum.If this final party rally before the election on Monday is a barometer, Blue and White has decided to persist with their warnings about the alleged threat to democracy posed by Netanyahu and his possible effort to obtain immunity from prosecution, and with a message of hope for less divisive times.MK Gabi Ashkenazi, the party member in the No. 4 slot, spoke first and berated Netanyahu, declaring We wont let hatred win; we wont let racism win.Ashkenazis tone was upbeat but his messages were that there are 48 hours to stop the lies, and that one more Knesset seat and Netanyahu will stay in power.MK Moshe Yaalon, as is his wont, denounced and condemned Netanyahu and his government, speaking in dire terms of the need to save the country and the prime ministers attempt to turn Israel into an extremist Bibistan.Yaalon declared: We have to stop Netanyahu from getting 61 MKs so that he can grant himself immunity.But then came the message of hope, and despite the crowds attentiveness to the warnings of Ashkenazi and Yaalon, the gathered attendees and activists were far more responsive to the upbeat tone of Lapid and Gantz.We are talking about hope.

Every Israeli national election brings with it the same public discussion about Israels Mizrahi communities and their alleged support for the right, and the ruling Likud party more specifically. Many among the left in Israel regularly hypothesize about the reasons so many Mizrahim Jews with origins in Arab or Muslim countries vote for right-wing parties, but often end up either missing the mark completely or recycling racist stereotypes.

With elections mere days away the last Israel Hayom-i24NEWS poll before Israelis go to the ballot box projects a dead heat between ruling party Likud and challenger Blue and White, but says that overall, the right-wing bloc secures a narrow, one-mandate lead. Mondaysgeneral electionsmark an unprecedented third vote in the span of one year. But with polls consistently indicating a race that istoo close to callbetween Likud and Blue and White, and given that neither the right- nor the left-wing bloc has emerged as being able to secure the 61-seat majority necessary to form a government, concerns that Israel will find itselffacing a fourth votein the fall of 2020 are growing.
