Religious Zionism Chairman Bezalel Smotrich said at the party headquarters that "it could be that the soldiers' votes will lift us up." He added: "I see on some of the screens that the Arabs are celebrating, so I'm announcing to you and to them – we won't let them celebrate. They are celebrating because they think they will succeed in reversing our settlement revolution in Judea and Samaria. I'm announcing to them – they won't succeed. Jewish settlements will rise in Gaza."
