Liron Weizman, host of "Big Brother" on Reshet 13, posted a message on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the day of the 26th Knesset elections, calling for public action to bring about change in Israel after what she described as four difficult years. "Before we go to the ballot box, let's take care of our children, ourselves, and fix this. Four such difficult years. Let's demand repair and change. The people of Israel want to leave Egypt, let's do it," she wrote.
This is not the first time Weizman has expressed her political views. She previously stated on the podcast "Nelly and Liron" that she supports the "change bloc" and opposes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's continued rule. Weizman clarified that her desire for a change in government does not mean she identifies with the left, stating, "My voice is not left, I am absolutely telling you this. You can be right-wing and not support Bibi."
Reports indicated that Weizman was among cultural and entertainment figures who supported the "Achva" party, led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, alongside Dana Frider, Kobi Oz, and Yemit Sol.
Weizman is not alone among public figures using their platforms for political messaging ahead of the elections. In recent weeks, many social media stars and entertainers have voiced their opinions despite concerns about losing followers, public criticism, and potential damage to commercial partnerships. Former "Big Brother" contestant Danit Greenberg stated that Israel needs change and a different government, viewing political expression as a personal obligation despite potential economic repercussions. "Big Brother" contestant Tal Tito revealed she would vote for Naftali Bennett, while influencer Dana Zarmon caused controversy by publishing an interview with Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the "Yashar!" party. Conversely, singer Subliminal expressed support for Netanyahu's Likud party.
