Michael Shמש, the political correspondent for Channel 13 News, announced to his followers on Sunday that he has decided who to vote for in the upcoming elections. Shמש shared on social media, "I have decided who I will give my vote to in the 2026 elections, and after several weeks of unexplained stress, I feel a strange relief.

The article also references an incident from Saturday night where Eyal Berkovich attempted to persuade Moriyah Asraf on live television on Channel 13 to reveal her voting intentions.
