Ben-Gvir's far-right pitch gains ground with Israel's first-time voters

Israeli general elections are set for October 27, with far-right parties drawing support from a wave of first-time voters.

• More than half a million first-time voters are expected to cast ballots, with over 16% planning to back far-right parties, according to a Yedioth Ahronoth poll.
• Ben-Gvir, campaigning in the mixed city of Ramle, urged young voters to turn out, saying "We see the support, we see the love, and we want to win!"
• Polls cited by Israeli media project Likud to lose a third of its Knesset seats, while Ben-Gvir's Jewish Power is expected to win eight or more.
• Protesters at a Tel Aviv student event interrupted Ben-Gvir, chanting "Fascism will not pass" and forcing him off the stage.
