Businessman and entrepreneur Yakir Abadi, known online as "just_yakirabadi1," has launched a sharp attack against Naama Kesri, a two-time winner of the reality show "Survivor," over her political opinions. Abadi, a prominent figure connecting the business and digital worlds in Israel, criticized Kesri and the broader left-wing camp, while praising Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The controversy began when Abadi posted a political video that started with the slogan "I also want change," a phrase associated with the anti-Netanyahu bloc. Abadi revealed that Kesri "liked" the video after watching only the first 10 seconds. Abadi responded with a video message, stating, "How can we know that the left's brain doesn't work? Water brain." He directly addressed Kesri, calling her a "leftist whose brain doesn't work properly" and asserting she has "no idea why not to vote for Bibi, but the main thing is not Bibi."

Abadi also criticized potential political alternatives to the current government, sarcastically suggesting, "Better Bennett and Eisenkot to make us a left-wing government, radical left, call them to finish us off, but the main thing is not Bibi." He explained that Kesri fell for the editing of his video, which he claimed was "100% right-wing, extremely right-wing, because we want a Jewish, whole, and true country, and not to give up territories to anyone."

Abadi concluded his remarks by personally addressing Kesri, thanking her for the "like" and implying her limited viewing time reflected a lack of forward-thinking. Kesri has recently increased her public political statements amid the approaching elections, making her a target for criticism from the right wing.
