Corinne Gideon Votes With Family, Awaits Election Exit Polls

Media personality and social media influencer Corinne Gideon exercised her democratic right by voting in Israel's 26th Knesset elections on Tuesday. She shared the experience with her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, documenting her trip to the polling station with her family, including her three children, Alona, Rafael, and Levi Yitzchak. Gideon posted a photo of herself casting her ballot while holding her youngest son, with her other children beside her, captioning it "We fulfilled our duty!" She did not reveal who she voted for, expressing anticipation for the exit polls to be released at 10 PM, stating in a story, "What stress, I desperately need an exit poll."

The voting day followed a tumultuous 24 hours for Gideon. On Monday, she was involved in a public dispute with Avi Shoshan, the former spokesperson for Ichilov Hospital and a panelist on "The Patriots." Gideon had criticized Shoshan's appearance on the reality show "Survivor," referencing a 2021 confrontation at Ichilov Hospital after the birth of her first daughter. She wrote that it was a shame he wasn't fired before she gave birth and predicted he would be "the villain of the season." Shoshan responded with his own series of Instagram stories, sharply attacking Gideon and presenting his version of events. This exchange reignited their prior conflict, which began when Gideon criticized hospital conditions.
