Israeli rapper and right-wing activist Yoav Eliassi, known by his stage name 'The Shadow,' stated in an interview on Channel 13's "Ha'Tzinor" program that he is working for Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir and assisting him in his election campaign. When asked if he received payment for his social media support, Eliassi responded cryptically, "Influencers get paid, I'm telling you this unequivocally." He also revealed past connections with former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, noting that Bennett "takes people with him who work in this, and that's okay."
Eliassi, who is actively urging the public to vote for Ben-Gvir's "Otzma Yehudit" party, posted a stark warning on Instagram. He cautioned that if people do not vote, particularly for Ben-Gvir, hundreds of thousands of citizens might have to surrender their firearms. He painted a grim picture of a potential future with "well-fed terrorists" enjoying comfortable conditions and described how the "change bloc" would dismantle Ben-Gvir's achievements, leaving no trace of his legacy. Eliassi asserted that his fears are not imagined, but based on statements made by the opposition itself.
This, he argued, would result in another "crippled right-wing government" characterized by compromises and a lack of decisive action on security. Eliassi emphasized that personal security for Israeli citizens would become a political bargaining chip if Ben-Gvir is not elected. He concluded by stating that Ben-Gvir is the only leader fighting to fulfill his promises and urged supporters of Netanyahu to vote for Ben-Gvir to ensure the fulfillment of security objectives.
Yoav Eliassi, known as 'The Shadow,' first gained prominence in the early 2000s as part of the hip-hop duo "Subliminal and The Shadow." After a solo career, he became a prominent figure on social media in 2014, expressing right-wing views on politics, security, and Jewish-Arab relations, often sparking public controversy.
