Eli Ohana's Wife Denies Former Footballer Plans to Run for Likud in Upcoming Elections

Following reports that former footballer Eli Ohana might enter politics by securing a reserved spot on the Likud party list for the upcoming Knesset elections, his wife Adi Ohana addressed the rumors on Friday. Political commentator Amit Segal had reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was considering placing Ohana on the Likud list. In response, Adi Ohana held a Q&A session on her Instagram account, where she was repeatedly asked if her husband intended to run for office.

When asked directly if Eli Ohana was entering politics, Adi replied humorously but firmly that he was not planning to run. She explained that since the reports surfaced, many visitors to her cosmetic clinic have asked about Eli's political ambitions and potential announcement dates. She emphasized that the only competition Eli faces is with her, and he is not running anywhere but staying put.

Eli Ohana is a former football player closely associated with Beitar Jerusalem and currently a presenter on Keshet 12. He and his wife also participated together in the reality show "MKR The Winning Kitchen." The recent speculation about his political future has brought the couple into the spotlight regarding possible political involvement, which they have now publicly denied.
