Ruti Brodo Explains Why She Won't Enter Politics

TV personality and chef Ruti Brodo, known for her role as a judge on "The Kitchen VIP," has stated that she would enter politics if she were more verbally adept. In an interview with Ofira Ohana and Seri, Brodo explained that her preference for listening over speaking makes her unsuited for the political arena. She also shared what question she would ask the Prime Minister if he were to join them at the show's table: why power is so important to him. Brodo believes that public officials should serve limited terms, comparing the role of Prime Minister to a position that should eventually be relinquished, unlike royalty. She drew a parallel to her own experience managing over 1,000 employees, where she often wishes to step down due to the difficulty of the role. Brodo also expressed that the Prime Minister should have resigned the day after October 7th, similar to predecessors who made fatal errors, referencing the Yom Kippur War. She feels that since October 7th, and even before, Israelis have become entrenched in their opinions, refusing to listen to others, which has led to a breakdown in dialogue. Brodo finds the human element and the stories shared by participants on "The Kitchen VIP" particularly appealing, noting that the show, while featuring food, is fundamentally about people and their experiences. She also commented on the cooking abilities of other personalities, stating that while Judy knows how to host, she is not skilled in cooking.
