Singer, film producer, and screenwriter Avi Biton has publicly urged his followers to vote for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming elections. In a social media video shared over the weekend, Biton explicitly called for a vote for Netanyahu on October 27th, stating, "Let there be no misunderstandings - on 27.10, we all go to the ballot box and vote Bibi." He further suggested that voters should assist elderly individuals in casting their ballots, claiming this action would "save the country."
Biton expressed deep personal concern about the election outcome, stating he loses sleep over it. He controversially declared Netanyahu to be "God's messenger," recounting a blessing allegedly received by Netanyahu from the Lubavitcher Rebbe. According to Biton, the Rebbe prophesied that Netanyahu would become prime minister, face many enemies, and eventually "hand the keys to the Messiah." Biton also attacked critics, stating, "We will not give up. Look how they call us, they call us 'baboons,' they call us 'a herd.'"
Biton's support for Netanyahu is not new. Approximately two months prior, in an interview on Yossi Marashak's podcast, Biton stated his intention to vote for Netanyahu, citing a lack of leadership on the left and his trust in Netanyahu. He described Netanyahu as a "smart man who knows English" and suggested that while people may desire change, any replacement should be "someone normal, someone on Bibi's level."
