As the election approaches, Israeli celebrities are increasingly voicing their political preferences. Gadi Eisenkot's "Yashar!" party released a video featuring stars from the popular crime series "HaBorer" (The Arbiter). The clip includes Lirit Balban, known for her role as Naomi "Kafit" Asulin, who questions Eisenkot about seeking the blessing of the Asulin family. The series' former lead, Moshe Ivgy, was previously convicted of sex offenses.
Actress Dana Frider announced her support for Naftali Bennett's party in a video call with Yamit Sol. Frider stated her intention to vote for Bennett, emphasizing the need for stability and a return to sanity, even for those not deeply involved in politics. "If you don't understand politics, you're aware enough to understand that things haven't been sane here, and that's a good enough reason for change," she said.
Social media influencer Odia Pinto declared her support for Ofer Winter's "Amcha Israel" party, citing personal security concerns for residents of northern Israel as her primary motivation. Pinto urged right-wing parties to unite to form a strong bloc.
Rotem Sela continued her political messaging, releasing a statement that "whoever is responsible for October 7th should do us a favor and step down." This follows her previous criticism of inequality in military conscription.
These endorsements join a growing trend of public support from entertainers for various political factions. Previous endorsements include Subliminal, Ofer Levi and Uri Geller for Netanyahu and the Likud party.
