Ben Gvir supporters distributed gun-shaped keyrings and attempted to hand out noose-shaped keyrings to Israeli high school students during a mock election event at Blich High School in Ramat Gan. The keyrings, which can also serve as bottle openers, featured images of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir holding a gun. Otzma Yehudit, the far-right party led by Ben Gvir, defended the distribution of the keyrings, stating that they aim to educate younger generations about the importance of his weapons reform policies.
However, the headmaster intervened and prevented the distribution of noose-shaped keyrings. The mock election, a tradition at Blich High School, saw students voting for political parties ahead of Israel's national elections. The event was marred by disorder, with shouting, physical altercations, and disruptions reported, as rival parties clashed during speeches.
Otzma Yehudit supporters allegedly shoved and cursed at Jewish left-wing Democrats activists during a speech by Knesset member Gilad Kariv. Kariv claimed that Ben Gvir's bloc lost the mock elections, contradicting reports that his party might have won.
