以色列中央选举委员会称，截至以色列时间下午4点（英国时间下午2点），选民投票率为55.7%，比2022年选举同一时段高出8个百分点。
At 4pm in Israel (2pm UK time), voter turnout stood at 55.7 per cent, according to the country’s central elections committee – 8 per cent higher than at the same time of day during the 2022 election.
这是自1973年开始逐小时记录投票数据以来该时段最高的投票率，已有超过400万人投票。
It was the highest turnout at that hour since hourly numbers were first recorded in 1973, with more than four million people having voted.
“我们打破了中央选举委员会保存的所有记录。自1973年以来，从未出现过这样的全国性投票率，”该委员会代理总干事迪恩·利夫内表示。
“We have surpassed all the records kept by the central elections committee. There hasn’t been such a nationwide voter turnout since 1973,” said Dean Livne, the acting director-general of the committee.
在选民前往投票站之际，内塔尼亚胡指责阿拉伯政党试图窃取选举，此前有报道称，有人携带装满现金的信封，涉嫌试图贿赂选民。
As voters went to the polls, Mr Netanyahu accused Arab parties of trying to steal the election after reports that people with envelopes of cash were allegedly trying to bribe voters.
这位以色列总理声称，拉姆党（Raam）的三名高级官员在南部被捕，身上携带装满钱的信封。
The Israeli prime minister claimed that three senior officials from the Raam party had been arrested with envelopes full of money in the South.
然而，以色列警方证实，虽然三名当地居民在内盖夫因涉嫌分发拉姆党信封中的现金而被拘留，但警方并未确认他们是该党官员，并补充说没有证据将该党领导层与这一涉嫌计划联系起来。
However, Israeli police confirmed that while three local residents had been detained in the Negev on suspicion of distributing cash in Raam envelopes, they had not identified them as party officials, adding there was no evidence linking the party’s leadership to the alleged scheme.
拉姆党否认存在系统性舞弊的说法，称这些逮捕是一起与之无关的地方性事件。
Raam has dismissed claims of systemic malpractice, calling the arrests an unlinked local matter.
在周二上午的新闻发布会上，利夫内表示，这一事件是一起不寻常的“局部案件”。他补充说：“警方甚至在人们到达投票站之前，就抓获了试图贿赂选民的人。”
In a press conference on Tuesday morning, Mr Livne said the incident was an unusual “localised case”. He added: “Police, even before people arrived at the polling stations, caught individuals who tried to bribe voters”.
他证实，这些身份不明的嫌疑人当时不在投票站，而是在其住所附近被抓。
The unidentified suspects were not at polling stations and were caught near their homes, he confirmed.
内塔尼亚胡和利库德集团的竞选活动包括警告阿拉伯裔以色列政党带来的危险，并煽动对巴勒斯坦国的恐惧，以动员他的基本盘。
The election campaign by Mr Netanyahu and the Likud Party has included warnings of the dangers of Arab-Israeli parties, and has stoked fears of a Palestinian state to mobilise his base.
“我们不能把这场战斗交给左翼和想要终结犹太国家的阿拉伯政党，”他在周二表示。“所以不要去烧烤，不要去海滩——去投票站，投票给利库德。”周二下午，利库德要求中央选举委员会将投票时间延长至晚上10点的截止时间之后，以争取动员选民。
“We cannot leave this battle here in the hands of the Left and the Arab parties that want to bring an end to the Jewish state,” he said on Tuesday. “So no barbecues, don’t go to the beach – go to the polling station and vote Likud.”On Tuesday afternoon, Likud asked the central elections committee to extend voting beyond the 10pm deadline as it sought to mobilise voters.
艾森科特先生的政党“亚沙尔”是内塔尼亚胡的主要挑战者，该党声称总理正准备质疑周二选举的结果，声称选举被窃取。
Yashar, the party of Mr Eisenkot, the main challenger to Mr Netanyahu claimed the premier was preparing to challenge the results of Tuesday’s election by claiming it was being stolen.
“内塔尼亚胡陷入恐慌，他正在为质疑结果打基础，”该党表示。“我们必须在得票上大幅领先利库德——只有这样才没有对结果散布怀疑的空间。”艾森科特先生周二敦促选民赶走以色列历史上“最糟糕的政府”。
“Netanyahu is in a panic, and he’s laying the groundwork to challenge the results,” the party said. “We have to be ahead of Likud by a huge margin – only then will there be no room to sow doubt about the results.”Mr Eisenkot urged voters to oust the “worst government” in Israel’s history on Tuesday.

He also complained that ballot papers were being defaced and stolen at polling places.
阿拉伯联合名单党领袖曼苏尔·阿巴斯指责内塔尼亚胡通过其舞弊指控进行煽动。“本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在撒谎，并煽动针对阿拉伯联合名单的情绪，将其用作恐吓手段来动员右翼选民，驱使他们前往投票站，”他说。
Mansour Abbas, the leader of the Arab List party, accused Mr Netanyahu of incitement through his allegations of fraud. “Benjamin Netanyahu is lying and inciting against the United Arab List, using it as a scare tactic to mobilise Right-wing voters and drive them to the polls,” he said.
《以色列时报》援引中央选举委员会的话说：“与网上流传的说法相反，目前没有迹象表明选票遭到系统性篡改”。该委员会还表示，正在处理相关报道。
The Times of Israel quoted the central elections committee as saying: “Contrary to claims circulating online, there are currently no indications of systematic tampering with ballot slips”. It added that the reports were being addressed.
内塔尼亚胡周二在耶路撒冷投票时呼吁以色列人“以正确的方式”投票，当时刚过中午。
Mr Netanyahu called on Israelis to vote “the right way” on Tuesday as he cast his ballot in Jerusalem just after midday.
高投票率给总理敲响了警钟，他声称高投票率是由左翼和阿拉伯地区推动的，并发布图片向右翼选民发出“紧急呼吁”。
The high turnout has set off alarms for the prime minister, who alleged that it was driven by Left-wing and Arab areas and posted images making an “emergency call” to Right-wing voters.
