Israeli influencer, actress, and model Maya Wertheimer, known for her television roles and social media presence, expressed profound emotion while voting in the recent elections. Wertheimer, daughter of businessman Eitan Wertheimer and granddaughter of the late industrialist Stef Wertheimer, shared a photo of herself and her family at a polling station near her home, accompanied by the caption, "Voting out of love, not fear." She later posted another image of herself and her daughter Asia casting a ballot, revealing her deep feelings. "I've never been so moved by an election. I cried my life out. We deserve a correction, we deserve a better future, and we must not forget the past," Wertheimer wrote, indicating a strong personal connection to the electoral process and its implications.
Wertheimer is married to Assaf Zamir, a public figure and politician who previously served as Israel's Consul General in New York and as Tourism Minister. The couple has two children, Asia and Noah, and they often share aspects of their personal lives and political views on social media.

Filber suggested these "dramatic numbers" could alter election results, even compared to the latest polls. He also mentioned that his WhatsApp account was blocked the previous evening due to a cyberattack.
Filber noted that the high turnout signifies public engagement, with increased participation observed across various sectors, including Arab and Haredi communities, as well as left and right-wing voters. He cited a rise in the Arab community's participation from approximately 53% in the previous election to over 60% currently, and also noted a significant increase among right-wing and Haredi voters.
