Media personality and social media influencer Maayan Adam, whose sister was killed in the Nova music festival massacre three years ago, has publicly urged her followers to vote for the "change bloc" in the upcoming elections, aiming to replace the current government. Adam, who previously supported Naftali Bennett, shared an emotional post on the eve of the elections, comparing her current plea to her desperate search for her sister after the October 7th attacks.

Adam described her deep personal pain and her feeling of responsibility to honor her sister's memory, stating, "I feel today like on Black Saturday, a sister trying to save her sister, to show her that we haven't moved on as if nothing happened, to bring her justice, peace, honor to her death." She implored voters to help her give her mother the solace of a new government that would seek justice and remembrance for her sister, rather than one that sought to forget her.

She specifically called for a vote for change, emphasizing that "every vote for change is a vote of compassion." Adam recounted how her mother had been humiliated in the Knesset and by ministers' statements, and she pleaded for support to end years of disrespect. She expressed gratitude for any vote cast for the change bloc.

While advocating for the broader change bloc, Adam revealed that she personally intends to cast her vote for Naftali Bennett. She cited his political experience, security stances, and character as reasons for her support. However, she emphasized that this time, her vote for Bennett is also driven by a deeply personal motivation: he was the first and only one to visit and console her family after her sister's death, earning a special place in her heart.

Adam concluded her post by urging everyone to vote in memory of the victims, stating, "You deserve better." She shared photos of herself and her sister, a picture from the site where her sister was murdered, and an image of Bennett comforting her family.
