Defense Minister Naftali Bennett (Yamina) on Monday morning voted in his hometown or Ra'anana before continuing on to visit the Malcha Mall in Jerusalem.
At Malcha, Bennett met with potential voters, asking them: "Netanyahu is Prime Minister. Who do you prefer to serve as Defense Minister - [Blue and White Chairman MK Benny] Gantz? Or me?"
He also emphasized that Israel's election is about the bloc, not just the party: "The largest party isn't what matters, it's the largest bloc that decides. For instance, in 2009, Kadima had more votes than the Likud, but Netanyahu became Prime Minister. We, Yamina, are in Netanyahu's bloc - completely and fully. There's no question. Our voting slip goes automatically to Netanyahu, and not just to Netanyahu, but to me at his side."
"The largest bloc decides, and I promise you: I am looking in your eyes, we are all together with Netanyahu."
In a special message to Israel's Anglo community, Bennett told Arutz Sheva that his party "will not allow a Palestinian state, will not give up land to the Arabs, will back our soldiers, and will be strong on our Jewish identity."
"I think we've got a real chance, I think if everyone goes out and votes - everyone - we can get out of this sort of dead end. I'm pretty optimistic, but it depends on you."
By 10:00 on Monday, 14.5% of Israelis had voted, compared to 15% by the same point in September's elections.
