As elections approach, Israeli celebrities are increasingly voicing their political preferences. Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the "Yashar!" party, has released a campaign video featuring actors from the popular crime series "Ha'Borer" (The Arbiter). The clip includes actress Lirit Balaban, known for her role as Naomi "Kafit" Asulin, who questions Eisenkot about seeking the blessing of the Asulin family.

Actress Dana Frider announced her support for Naftali Bennett's party in a video call with Yamit Sol. Frider stated her desire for peace and normalcy, emphasizing that even those unfamiliar with politics can recognize the need for change. Meanwhile, social media personality Odia Pinto declared her backing for Ofer Vinter's "Amcha Israel" party, citing personal security concerns for residents of northern Israel as her primary motivation. Pinto also urged right-wing parties to unite.

Actress Rotem Sela continued to share political messages, following a previous statement criticizing inequality in military conscription. Sela posted a new message stating that responsibility for the October 7th events should lead to a change in leadership, regardless of political leaning. These endorsements join a growing trend of entertainers publicly supporting various political factions, with some backing Netanyahu and the Likud, while others support Eisenkot's party or Bennett and Lapid's "Achva" party.
