Singer Yehonatan Meragi has returned to Israel for a brief 48-hour visit specifically to cast his vote in the upcoming elections, scheduled for Tuesday. Meragi, who is currently working on his music abroad, joins a list of Israelis living overseas who have made special trips back to the country to exercise their democratic right. Earlier, it was reported that actress Gal Gadot also arrived in Israel for the same purpose.

Meragi, who splits his time between Israel and Los Angeles, has been in a long-distance relationship with singer Anna Zak for nearly three years. Unlike many in the entertainment industry who have publicly declared their political stances, Meragi has chosen to keep his political views private and has not revealed who he intends to vote for.

Similarly, Gal Gadot has not disclosed her political preferences, contrasting with some of her close friends like Rotem Sela, Liron Vaytsman, and Yael Goldman, who have publicly supported change. The return of Israelis living abroad to vote has sparked a debate regarding the ethics and legitimacy of their participation in influencing election outcomes.
