Singer and actor Idan Amedi, who was severely injured during his reserve duty in the Gaza Strip, announced his intention to vote for the "Reservists and Economic" party in the upcoming elections. In a video posted on social media, Amedi expressed his support for the party led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zehlikha, explaining his belief in this political alignment.
Amedi urged the public not to be swayed by calculations about the electoral threshold, stating, "Don't think about the blocking percentage. I know they will say this is naive, but it's not being naive." He encouraged voters to cast their ballots based on their personal values and ideals rather than political maneuvering. "I am voting for Yoaz Hendel, Yaron Zehlikha, the Reservists and the Economic," he declared.
Citing his long acquaintance with Hendel, Amedi expressed admiration for his consistent stances over the years, particularly on issues like governance and internal societal fragmentation, which he feels have been neglected in public discourse. Amedi described Hendel as a leader with broad, long-term vision, noting that he has not altered his positions based on political trends.
Beyond his support for Hendel and Zehlikha, Amedi endorsed the concept of a "third bloc" aiming to unite Zionist parties and form a broad government. "I also believe in the third bloc. I believe in this bloc that tries to unite Zionist parties. A government as broad as possible, that will meet the challenges we have from within and without. We have no other choice," he stated.
