Yamina head Ayelet Shaked took to social media on Tuesday to warn right-wing voters that if they did not show massive support, Israeli policy will be dragged to the Left.
Shaked, whose candidate list represents her own New Right party and the Habayit Hayehudi party, has tried to cast itself as a bridge between secular and observant Jews but has struggled to gain traction.

In recent days, Netanyahu has been campaigning hard against voting for Yamina, saying that it is more important to make sure his Likud party gets the most seats in the election to ensure it gets the first shot at forming a government. Netanyahu's assault has made Yamina's task that much harder.
"It is time to wake up; we have a few hours left for voting, and we must make use of them to the fullest extent. I don't want you to whine afterward and complain that we cannot enter the government because we are too small," Shaked warned on social media. "It is in your hands. We are a glorious democracy, you decide your own fate," she said. She also made a direct appeal to Tel Avivians when speaking through a bullhorn near beachgoers, urging them to enjoy the sun, "but go and vote soon."
Shaked warned that if Yamina was too small after the election and got left out of the government, it won't be in a position to safeguard Israel from making territorial concessions when President Donald Trump presents his much-anticipated peace plan.
"Dear right-wing voters, things are not looking good," she wrote on Twitter.
