Israeli actor and creator Lior Raz, known for the international hit series "Fauda," has publicly called for a change in national leadership ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections. In a strong Instagram post on Wednesday, Raz emphasized the need for change driven by responsibility for the future, not anger or hate, especially since the October 7th events.
Raz highlighted the significant sacrifices made by reservists and their families since the war began, stating they deserve a nation that supports them through actions, not just words. He declared he would not vote for a government that fails to stand by reservists while simultaneously supporting those who evade their shared national duty.
The "Fauda" creator urged a shift in political discourse away from traditional left-right divides, framing the issue as one of values, shared destiny, and responsibility. He stressed that those bearing the burden should not continue to do so alone, calling for change in the upcoming elections, asserting that life cannot simply continue as if nothing happened after October 7th.
This statement follows a recent controversy involving Raz's "Fauda" co-creator, Avi Issacharoff. Issacharoff fiercely criticized Yinon Magal and the "HaPatriotim" panel on X (formerly Twitter) for mocking Gadi Eisenkot's background and appearance. Issacharoff condemned the program as a "studio of hate and racism" and attacked Prime Minister Netanyahu's circle and advisor Yonatan Urich, calling them "Bibi's trash group."
