One week before the legislative elections scheduled for October 27 in Israel, a study conducted in Rehovot, a city of 140,000 near Tel Aviv, reveals that young voters predominantly lean towards the political right.
According to RFI, which interviewed young people in this city, 56% of first-time voters aged 18 to 22 identify as right-wing. Rehovot is often considered a reliable barometer of national electoral trends, as its results generally reflect those of the country as a whole.
This marked preference for the right among young voters contrasts with older generations and could significantly influence Israel’s political landscape in the upcoming election.
