As Israel's upcoming election approaches, numerous entertainment figures, singers, and media personalities are publicly announcing their voting intentions and the reasons behind their choices. Some are backing specific leaders they believe in, while others emphasize core values and issues they feel should be central to the national agenda.
Singer and actor Ran Danker, along with entertainers Yael Polyakov and Ema Shosh, have declared their support for the "Yashar" party, led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot. Danker explained his decision on Instagram, stating that Eisenkot "feels most right to me right now" and expressing hope for change. Danker cited support for LGBTQ+ rights, relations with the Arab community, the necessity of dialogue alongside war when unavoidable, and education that encourages critical thinking as key factors. He desires a "liberal democratic state where everyone has the right to choose what and how to believe," and a culture that reflects life and encourages questioning.
On the other side of the political spectrum, singers Subliminal and Ofer Levi, mentalist Uri Geller, and entertainer Avi Biton have voiced their support for the Likud party, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. Geller described Netanyahu as a "genius, magician, world leader, second to none, master of rhetoric, powerful, committed, infinitely intelligent, and loves Israel deeply and spiritually." Subliminal, whose real name is Kobi Shimoni, also expressed support for Netanyahu, acknowledging disagreements with some of his political stances but calling him "a great leader, one of his generation," superior to existing alternatives. Avi Biton called Netanyahu a "wise, noble, smart prime minister with no replacement."
Entertainers Dana Frider, Kobi Oz, Liron Vayzman, Yael Sol, and others announced their support for the "Achva" party, led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. Frider stated her desire to live peacefully with her family and return to routine, emphasizing that "even if you understand or don't understand politics, this is the time for politics" and that the need for change is sufficient reason to vote.
A group of cultural and entertainment figures, including Orna Banai, Nelly Tagar, former footballer Yaakov Buzaglo, actress Alona Saar, Yossi Marshak, Achinoam Nini, Dalia Mazor, and Esti Zakheim, have declared their support for the "Democrats" party, led by Yair Golan. Buzaglo explained his desire for a stable and responsible governing alternative, stating, "I am not ashamed to be left-wing. I am ashamed that we have reached a situation where people are afraid to openly say what they believe in," highlighting freedom of expression.
Former Miss Israel Titi Aynau announced her vote for Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party, citing Lieberman's experience, consistency, and clear stances. Aynau, who like Lieberman immigrated to Israel, noted his understanding of immigration challenges.
Social media star Odia Pinto announced her vote for Ofer Vinter's "Amcha Israel" party, prioritizing personal security. Pinto expressed concern about the electoral threshold and called for right-wing parties to unite.
Singer and actor Idan Amadi declared his vote for the "HaMiltzavnikim-Heklkalit" party, led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelicha, urging voters to choose based on values rather than just the electoral threshold. Reality TV personality Bar Cohen also expressed support for Yaron Zelicha, believing in grassroots change and experienced leadership.
