Ahead of the elections, Channel 13 journalist Liron Shem posted on Instagram about her voting considerations, without naming her preferred candidate. "As a journalist, I cannot reveal who I am voting for," she wrote, but proceeded to describe the qualities she seeks in a national leader. She stated she votes for someone who has "never lied to me, meaning to all of us." She added this person is someone who, despite seeing her pursuing him with a camera, stopped to respect the person in front of him, even while on duty. "One who knew how to see the simple person will also know how to care for them," Shem wrote.

Shem further outlined additional important traits for her in choosing a leader: "I vote for someone who is ego-less and knows how to delegate the management of the country to people who are the best in their fields." She is looking for a candidate who does not believe in centralized rule. She concluded by referencing her family and recent years in Israel, stating, "I vote for someone who will save me and my children from further avoidable traumas."
