Famous singer Odia Azulai, who rose to prominence in 2017, will not be able to vote in the upcoming Israeli elections. According to reporter Gil Meshali, Azulai will be traveling to the United States at the time of the elections, preventing her physical presence in Israel to cast her ballot.
Azulai, known for her successful music career, maintains a strictly religious lifestyle, a rarity among Israeli artists in her field. She has previously expressed discomfort performing in immodest attire and stated she would not work on the Sabbath, regardless of financial incentives.
Azulai's absence was also noted at a recent NEXT concert at Ramat Gan Stadium on Saturday, October 24th. While she performed earlier in the evening, she was not present on stage with other participants for the final song and farewell to the audience, a departure from her usual practice at previous shows.
During the same concert, Azulai's ex-boyfriend, Roi Adam, performed his song "Avi Hatachol." His participation was announced in advance, so his presence alongside Azulai was not a surprise.
In related news, singer Eyal Golan revealed he would vote and partially indicated his support for public figures Ofer Winter and Yosef Haddad, who have recently faced public controversy. Golan criticized the targeting of individuals who fought for the country and its public diplomacy, while others who do not condemn "abhorrent murderers" might join the government. He urged voters to cast their ballots based on faith, security, Jewish identity, and the future, rather than divisive headlines, concluding with a prayer for Israeli unity.
