Israeli actor Eli Finis, known for his impersonations of prominent Israeli figures on the satirical show "Eretz Nehederet," revealed his long-held ambition to portray activist Yosef Haddad. Finis has previously mimicked politicians like Yair Lapid and Dudi Amsalem, as well as Eurovision winner Yizhar Cohen. However, he expressed a particular desire to embody Haddad, who is currently the second-highest-ranking official in the "Amkha Israel" party led by Ofer Winter.
Finis shared during a "Ha'Kevess" podcast-live event that he has always wanted to impersonate Haddad. He indicated that a change might occur in the upcoming season of "Eretz Nehederet," as he is slated to take over the role. This shift is expected because the current portrayer of Haddad, Amir Shurush, will reportedly transition to a full-time impersonation of Ra'am party chairman Mansour Abbas.
During the podcast, Finis offered a preview of his Haddad impression, focusing on the activist's distinctive English speaking style. He humorously described Haddad's speech pattern, saying, "Arabic doesn't let the English come out," eliciting laughter from the audience.
