Israeli entertainment figure Rotem Sela, a prominent television host, actress, and brand ambassador, has shared a message on social media ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections on October 27th. Sela, known for her success in the Israeli entertainment industry, has previously spoken out on public and political issues, unlike many celebrities who maintain political neutrality to avoid business repercussions.
In an Instagram story posted on Wednesday, Sela displayed two political books on her bed, accompanied by the caption, "A little bedtime reading never hurt anyone." The books featured were "The Magnificent Twelve," analyzing Israeli political history from David Ben-Gurion to Benjamin Netanyahu, and "Bennett: Real Time," a book about former Prime Minister and "Habayit Hayehudi" party chairman Naftali Bennett.
This is not Sela's first foray into public political discourse. In 2019, she caused a national stir with an Instagram post criticizing the discourse surrounding Arab citizens of Israel, stating, "Israel is a state of all its citizens." This statement led to a public exchange, including a direct response from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Economically, Sela has recently expanded her business ventures. In addition to her long-standing role as a presenter for Discount Bank, she co-founded "Better," a dietary supplement company with Yonatan Gal, involving an investment of approximately 8 million shekels.
Sela's latest social media post underscores her continued engagement beyond entertainment. As Israeli citizens prepare to vote, her message serves as a reminder that civic involvement is an integral part of life, even at the peak of professional success.
