Member of Knesset Bezalel Smotrich, No. 2 in the United Righ Parties list, said Thursday morning, "We will join the demand of [the New Right Party's] Shaked and Bennett to recount the soldiers' votes."

Smotrich added, "There is a very bad smell here of a deliberate attempt to conceal seats of the right, and it is absolutely forbidden to let this happen."
