据《耶路撒冷邮报》报道，以色列大选投票率于当地时间周二上午10点（格林威治标准时间0800）达到16.68%，为45年来同一时段的最高水平，《新消息报》援引中央选举委员会消息报道。
Voter turnout in Israel’s general elections reached 16.68% by 10 am local time (0800 GMT) Tuesday, the highest level recorded at that hour in 45 years, the daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported, citing the Central Elections Committee.
据委员会代理总干事丁·利夫内称，截至该时刻，已有超过120万以色列人投出了选票。
More than 1.2 million Israelis had cast their ballots by that time, according to the committee’s acting director-general, Din Livneh.

The figure represents an increase of 0.78 percentage points compared with the 15.9% turnout recorded at the same hour during the previous general election in 2022.
极右翼财政部长贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里奇将高投票率归因于阿拉伯选民和左翼大本营异常踊跃的参与。
Extremist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich attributed the high turnout to exceptionally strong participation among Arab voters and in left-wing strongholds.
斯莫特里奇在社交媒体发文称，参与度的上升是由阿拉伯社区和传统上支持左翼政党地区异常高的投票率推动的。
In a social media post, Smotrich said the increase in participation was driven by unusually high voting rates in Arab communities and areas traditionally supporting left-wing parties.
阿拉伯裔议员艾哈迈德·蒂比也报告了异常高的参与度，并对取得强劲选举表现表示信心。
Arab Knesset member Ahmad Tibi also reported unusually high participation, expressing confidence in a strong electoral performance.
蒂比在一份新闻声明中说：“投票站拥挤程度前所未有，我有信心我们将取得重大胜利。”
“Polling stations are packed like never before, and I am confident we will achieve a major victory,” Tibi said in a press statement.
这些言论是在阿拉伯政党和反对派领袖努力动员选民、这场势均力敌的选举可能决定总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡能否继续执政之际发表的。
The remarks come amid efforts by Arab political parties and opposition leaders to mobilize voters in a closely contested election that could determine whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in power.

这是以色列自2023年10月在加沙地带发动种族灭绝战争以来的首次大选。
The election is Israel’s first general vote since the start of its genocidal war in the Gaza Strip in October 2023.
此次投票正值以色列在内塔尼亚胡领导权、加沙种族灭绝、以色列与伊朗的军事对抗以及国家未来政治方向等问题上存在深刻政治分歧之际。
The vote comes amid deep political divisions over Netanyahu’s leadership, the Gaza genocide, Israel’s military confrontation with Iran and the country’s future political direction.
内塔尼亚胡领导的利库德集团领导的联盟与反对党正在竞争，以争取组建议会多数所需的61个席位。
Netanyahu’s Likud-led coalition and opposition parties are competing to secure the 61 seats required for a parliamentary majority.
近期民意调查显示，没有任何一个阵营能确保获得多数席位，这增加了阿拉伯政党可能在决定下届政府组建中发挥重要作用的可能性。
Recent opinion polls have suggested that neither bloc is assured of a majority, raising the possibility that Arab parties could play a significant role in determining the formation of the next government.
