Singer Idan Amedi, who was injured during the "Swords of Iron" war, announced his voting intentions for the upcoming elections in an Instagram post on Sunday. Amedi criticized the heated rhetoric and mutual attacks prevalent in the current election campaign, expressing disgust at the political discourse. He likened the exchanges to a feud between enemies rather than political rivals, citing examples such as attacks on Lally Deri within Ofer Winter's list and criticism leveled against Yair Golan.
Amedi acknowledged that he likely disagrees with Yair Golan on most issues but praised Golan's actions on October 7th, stating he "knows how to appreciate that he went out on October 7th to fight and save Israelis." He also condemned conspiracy theories targeting Golan.
Concluding his message, Amedi directly addressed voters, urging them to disregard the electoral threshold and mathematical calculations when casting their ballots. Instead, he advised them to "vote for the love of the Land of Israel and for whoever you think will lead us to this place."
Amedi revealed his vote for Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zehlikha, running under the "HaMiluimnikim" (Reservists) banner. He stated he has known Hendel for many years, describing him as a leader with broad, long-term vision and expressing belief in the "change bloc."
In parallel to his political commentary, Amedi is expanding his business ventures beyond music. He has entered a new partnership with the Aroma chain, investing approximately 20 million shekels to launch the "Jerusalem Coffee" brand. This move follows his extensive recovery and return to creative work after sustaining severe injuries during reserve duty in the Gaza Strip. Amedi first gained prominence in 2010 and has since built a successful career with gold albums, "Singer of the Year" awards, and a role in the series "Fauda."
