SCRIPT
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu cancelled his participation in a Likud event in Bat Yam on Sunday, reportedly calling an emergency party meeting due to an in-depth study revealing he may lose the upcoming elections.
According to reports, the document says the opponents Lapid and Gantz are leading due to an expected low voter turnout in the cities where Likud traditionally does well.
However, Likud party supporters remained convinced of Netanyahu’s capabilities as a leader and that he will win reelection.
One pointed out that Netanyahu is "a great leader” and that he “succeeded in developing the hi-tech, and also to advance our economy.”
“He knows what to do! he knows what to do and I trust him, I trust him very well," said Yochevet Maouda, another supporter.
Israel will hold snap elections on Tuesday, as Netanyahu was unable to form a coalition after the vote in April. His pledge to annex the Jordan Valley and the Northern Dead Sea if re-elected sparked international condemnation.
