Media personality Avri Gilad announced his intention to vote for Naftali Bennett in the upcoming elections, describing Bennett as the "least bad" option. Gilad, who identifies as right-wing, expressed reservations about his choice but explained his decision was influenced by Bennett's past experience as Prime Minister and the caliber of candidates on his list.

In an interview on Itay Segal's podcast, Gilad stated, "For me, the least bad is Bennett." He also voiced reservations about politicians Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Golan, ultimately preferring Bennett. Gilad noted that while he considers Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman equally right-wing, Bennett's slate, which includes "amazing doers" like Keren Turner, swayed his decision.

Gilad, a self-proclaimed right-winger, criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserting that Netanyahu no longer represents the right-wing camp he belongs to. He stated he has lost faith in Netanyahu and desires a change in leadership, claiming Netanyahu has "taken over" the right-wing movement. Gilad also commented on Netanyahu's conduct during the recent war, suggesting the Prime Minister struggles with empathy towards those affected.
