Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party stated that it "strongly opposes" Likud's request to extend voting hours at polling stations, noting that "no exceptional event occurred that justifies approving the request, which is intended to create a basis for claims against the integrity of the elections, in continuation of the lies Netanyahu has been spreading since the morning hours." Meanwhile, Otzma Yehudit requested to join Likud's petition, "in light of the congestion and unusual wait times at polling stations."
