- Model Sandi Bar withdrew from "The Voice Israel All-Stars" shortly before filming.
- Bar cited feeling unwell as the reason for her sudden cancellation.
- The "All-Stars" season is set to premiere on Reshet 13 this Saturday night.

The new season of "The Voice Israel All-Stars," set to premiere on Reshet 13 this coming Saturday night, faces a last-minute complication. Model Sandi Bar, 50, was slated to participate in the blind auditions, aiming to impress the mentors. However, shortly before filming commenced, Bar informed the production that she would not be attending, citing that she was feeling unwell.
This withdrawal occurs at a sensitive time for the show and the network. The "All-Stars" season is launching just a month after the sixth season of "The Voice Israel" concluded. That season marked the show's return after a seven-year hiatus but suffered significantly in the ratings. Despite these low viewership numbers, Reshet 13 has decided to revive the format with this special "All-Stars" edition, featuring well-known past contestants whose identities are currently being kept secret.
The decision to immediately follow up with an "All-Stars" season is a rapid attempt to recapture viewers following the criticism of the previous season's poor performance. It remains to be seen if the remaining surprise cast members, even without Bar, will be enough to salvage the show's popularity.
