Television presenter and social media personality Maayan Adam, who has become a prominent voice for families of victims of the October 7th attacks, announced her intention to vote for former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in the upcoming elections. Adam's younger sister, Mifal Adam, was murdered at the Nova music festival on October 7th. Since then, Adam has openly shared her family's grief and criticized decision-makers for their handling of victims' families.

Adam revealed her voting choice ahead of the elections for the 26th Knesset, urging the public to vote with compassion. She stated her family's desire for a leadership that would establish a museum, an investigative committee, and national memorial sites. "Every one of you has the power today to close an open wound for us, to put an end to years of contempt and cold shoulder," Adam said, recounting how her mother felt humiliated in the Knesset and by ministers and the Prime Minister.

Adam explained her personal connection to Bennett, stating he was the first and only leader to visit her family during their mourning period. "The moment he entered our home, he immediately entered my heart," she said, adding that her sister Mifal would have chosen him for her. She reiterated her support for Bennett, whom she has voted for in previous years, but emphasized that this time her vote is for personal reasons.

Mifal Adam was killed while hiding under a car at the Nova festival. Maayan and her mother have been advocating for public recognition of the victims and state accountability, participating in Knesset committee discussions and demanding a state investigation into the failures. Recently, Maayan Adam confronted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over a social media campaign he launched before the Sukkot holiday, criticizing him for not visiting during their mourning period.
