Israeli far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir draws support from young first-time voters ahead of Israel's general elections
Ahead of Israel's general elections next week, more than half a million first-time voters will cast ballots. Polls cited in coverage suggest over 16% of young voters plan to back far-right parties and roughly three-quarters identify as right or centre-right. Ben-Gvir, sanctioned by several Western countries, campaigns on annexation of the West Bank and other hardline positions.
