Israeli television personality Assi Azar has publicly declared his support for former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, who is running for the Knesset as chairman of the "Yashar!" party. Azar shared a photo on social media featuring himself and his frequent co-host Rotem Sela flanking Eisenkot. The image was captioned with a message calling for a "new leader" who can be trusted, unite the country, and "protect our children."
Azar explicitly endorsed the sentiment by writing "Every word," aligning himself with Sela, who had previously announced her support for Eisenkot and his party. This joint endorsement from the popular television duo, known for shows like "The Next Star" and "Ninja Israel," presents a united political front.
This political statement comes after Azar's recent return from a vacation in Cyprus with his partner Albert Eskola and their children. During his trip, Azar was reportedly confronted by Israeli passengers on a shuttle bus who chanted "Bibi is the King of Israel" and called him a "Kaplanist."
The public backing from Azar and Sela is considered a significant boost for Eisenkot's campaign. It remains to be seen whether the television stars' influence will translate into electoral success for Eisenkot when the election results are announced.
