Actors Yehuda Levi and Dana Frider, accompanied by their six-month-old daughter Dafni, cast their votes on election day. Frider revealed on Instagram that she and Levi voted for the "Achva" party, led by Naftali Bennett, expressing hope for change and a better future. While Levi has previously voiced strong political opinions, including calls for leadership change after the October 7th attacks and public demonstrations for hostage release, he refrained from a public endorsement of a specific party this time. Frider's post, however, clarified their joint decision.
The couple's vote for Bennett's party aligns with a broader trend of support from prominent figures in Israeli culture and sports. Media personality Mayan Adam shared a personal post explaining her desire for a change in government, referencing her sister who was murdered on October 7th. Actress Yael Sol, media personality Avri Gilad, and former national team coach Shlomo Sharf also expressed support for Bennett.
However, the entertainment and sports world shows diverse political leanings. Singer and actor Idan Amdi, along with former footballer and media personality Lior Berkovich, announced their support for the "HaMiluimnikim VeHaKalkala" list, led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelicha, advocating for a calmer public discourse. Actress Rotem Sela declared her support for Gadi Eisenkot and the "Yashar!" list. Meanwhile, media personalities Yotam Zamri and Itamar Fleishman stated they would vote for Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism party to ensure Benjamin Netanyahu's continued premiership.
