Israeli singer Static announced on Tuesday that he voted in the 26th Knesset elections but would not reveal his choice, bucking a trend among celebrities to disclose their political preferences. In an Instagram story, Static explained his decision, stating, "I am not sharing, and the reason I am not coming out of my election closet is because I think there is a reason there is a curtain at the polling station." He added that he believes his political opinion holds no more weight than that of any other citizen, as he lacks expertise in political science or governance. "My opinion is worth exactly as much as yours, I don't want to influence you at all," Static stated.
