Lior Berkovich, son of media personality and former player Eyal Berkovich, has called for mandatory voting in Israel's upcoming elections, stating that those who do not vote should have their identity cards revoked. Speaking on the podcast "Ha'Ammi Ha'Leumi" (The National Belief), Berkovich, who retired from professional soccer at 26 to pursue a career in media, emphasized that every citizen over 18 has a democratic right to vote, regardless of their chosen party.
"Politics, not politics. Everyone is obligated to go vote in the elections. Whoever doesn't vote, revoke their identity card," Berkovich stated. He added, "Let everyone choose what they want, the main thing is that they go vote."
Berkovich's remarks come as more public figures are speaking out about the importance of participating in the elections. Over the weekend, influencer Sapir Avisror also addressed the topic on her Instagram Stories. She noted that discussing politics is often perceived as unappealing but stressed the importance of being informed and asking questions.
Avisror admitted she has not yet decided who to vote for but is actively seeking information. "These elections are very, very important. Ask questions, be interested, and sometimes don't be afraid to say something that might not sound good to everyone. I myself don't know who I'm voting for, but I am definitely going on a journey of questions," she said.
