Israel's election day is also known as a sabbatical. Tens of thousands of citizens chose to take advantage of voter day to get out and exercise their voting rights, but also to take advantage of the free day for travel and entertainment around the country. As of 11:30 a.m., some 40,000 hikers were out to the National Parks and Nature Reserves and opted to spend the current election day spending time on nature walks.

Data from the Nature and Parks Authority revealed that among the prominent sites were the Masada site with 1,900 visitors, Yarkon Tel Afek with 1,700 visitors, the Banias with 1,500 visitors, Caesarea with 1,300 visitors and Beit Guvrin with 1,000 visitors. In the Nature and Parks Authority, we have been updating visitor loads of Banias Waterfalls, Gamla Reserve, Arbel, Nahal Taninim and Habonim Reserves in recent hours.

The 2020 elections, the last alignment:

Lieberman: "There will be no further election round"

Blue and white will try to "wake" Gush Dan

On its right, they have learned lessons - and demand sovereignty

Touching distance: Netanyahu in the battle of his life

Not just Arabs: the intent of the shared list

At the same time, many travelers chose to take advantage of the sabbatical to spend the winter on the shores of Lake Kinneret. Despite the somewhat inclement weather at present in the area, the Kinneret Authority reports that "many who voted at polling stations in the morning and take advantage of the Sabbath day for hiking on the Kinneret roundabout." That means that a full violin is missing only 0.86 meters.
