A video of Ziva Factor, a 38-year-old resident of Ashkelon, confronting former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on a promenade has garnered over a million views online. In the spontaneous encounter, Factor told Bennett, "Here is a person I chose in the previous election," and added, "and I am not going to do it again." Bennett responded with a "thank you." Factor, a mother of two and self-employed in permanent makeup, explained in an interview with C14 that her statement stemmed from a deep disappointment with Bennett's political decisions, particularly forming a government with left-wing and Arab parties. She felt betrayed, describing the experience as "we really got a slap in the face from him." Factor, who describes herself as politically engaged and opinionated, initially approached Bennett after noticing his presence and hearing him speak. She felt his remarks were inaccurate and that he was taking credit for unachieved goals. Although initially hesitant to express her views publicly for fear of professional repercussions, she ultimately decided to stand by her convictions, stating, "Why can't I say my opinion? Why should I be ashamed of my opinion?" She emphasized that her intention was not to insult Bennett personally but to express her genuine feelings as a disappointed constituent. The video, initially shared with family and friends, unexpectedly went viral, surprising Factor with its widespread reach.
