Rom Breslavsky, a former hostage who returned from Hamas captivity in Gaza after 738 days, published an anguished post on social media after the exit poll results for the 26th Knesset were released. Breslavsky expressed a deep sense of fracture in light of the 17 seats the Arab parties received according to the polls, alongside only 6 seats for the Otzma Yehudit party. He wrote: "17 seats for the Arabs, 6 for Ben Gvir. I feel like crying, that's not why I was released from Gaza." The polls indicated an unprecedented surge by the Arab parties following exceptional voter turnout in the sector, alongside the weakening of Otzma Yehudit.
