  • Actress Alona Saar will vote for the Democrats, diverging from her father, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
  • Gideon Saar is running on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party list.
  • Alona Saar has previously criticized the government and her father's political stances.
  • Her voting choice was revealed in response to a social media follower.
  • Elections are scheduled to take place in less than a week.

With elections less than a week away, actress Alona Saar, daughter of Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, has revealed her voting intentions. Contrary to expectations that she would follow her father's political path, Saar indicated she plans to vote for the Democrats. She responded to a follower on Tuesday, suggesting they vote for Naama Lazimi of the Democrats instead of her, implying her own candidacy was not happening.

Saar's choice is particularly noteworthy given her father, Gideon Saar, serves as Foreign Minister and is listed on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party list for the upcoming elections. However, Alona Saar's political divergence from her father is not new. She has previously expressed criticism of the government, participated in protests against it, and stated she would not necessarily vote for him.

This public declaration marks a clear political stance from Saar, placing her on the opposite side of the political spectrum from her father just before the elections.
