The October 7, 2023 Hamas attack is significantly influencing Israel’s first-time voters, pushing them towards right-wing political parties. Amihai, an 18-year-old who will vote for the first time since the attack, prioritizes security above all else. He intends to vote for a far-right party, a decision stemming from the trauma of the deadliest day in Israeli history. Viewing the ruins of the northern Gaza Strip, Amihai’s perspective reflects a broader trend among new voters focused on bolstering Israel’s defenses. This shift suggests the attack’s lasting impact on the Israeli electorate and the upcoming elections. The event has reshaped their political priorities, leading a substantial number to favor more hardline security approaches.
