Social Media Star Maya Wertheimer Urges Voting, Cites Mistrust in Government Post-Oct 7

Social media personality Maya Wertheimer has urged her followers to exercise their civic duty and vote in the upcoming Knesset elections, emphasizing the importance of citizen participation in shaping Israel's future. She stated that since the October 7th Hamas attacks, she has realized that while the government may not be entirely trustworthy, the Israeli people can be relied upon. Therefore, she believes the responsibility lies with the citizens to vote and influence the country's direction.

The elections for the 26th Knesset are scheduled for Tuesday, October 27th. According to Judge Noam Sohlberg, Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, this marks the first time in decades that the Knesset will complete a full term without early elections. Wertheimer's message comes amidst the ongoing election campaigns of various Israeli parties.

Maya Wertheimer is the granddaughter of industrialist and billionaire Staff Wertheimer and the daughter of Ariela and Eitan Wertheimer. She is married to politician Assaf Zamir, a former Consul in New York, and they have two children, Asia and Nach. Wertheimer is also a prominent model and actress and serves as a brand ambassador for leading Israeli companies.

Recently, Wertheimer also shared personal insights about the benefits of exercise during pregnancy. In a social media post from the gym, she detailed how physical activity can alleviate back pain, reduce the risk of medical complications, improve mood and sleep quality, and aid in faster postpartum recovery.
