Israeli child star and businesswoman Michal Witzman, known by her stage name Michal Hakatanah, has publicly defended fellow influencer and reality star Miran Bozgalu. Bozgalu reported a disturbing incident where a senior executive from a company she collaborates with mistakenly sent a screenshot of her election day post to a shared WhatsApp group, accompanied by the comment, "That's it, now we can fire her." Bozgalu, who had only encouraged people to vote without revealing her personal political stance, documented the message before it was deleted. She expressed deep frustration over the attempt to jeopardize her livelihood based solely on political speculation, stating that despite the company's apology and claim of "humor," it crossed a red line for her.
Witzman, addressing Bozgalu directly via Instagram Stories, expressed shock and dismay. "My heart sank," Witzman stated, questioning the state of society. She highlighted the irony of Bozgalu facing such a comment on a day when everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions, especially when Bozgalu's post was neutral and simply urged voter turnout. Witzman emphasized that true human greatness lies in respecting those with differing views.
Witzman offered Bozgalu words of encouragement, invoking faith in divine providence. She suggested that such events might be divinely orchestrated to reveal hidden truths and assured Bozgalu of protection from above, framing the apparent harm as potentially greater guidance. Witzman urged Bozgalu to continue being a source of light, faith, and humility, asserting that no comment could diminish her worth.
Concluding her message, Witzman issued a moral appeal, stating that how individuals treat others is more significant than their opinions. She urged everyone, particularly on election day, to prioritize being human and respecting one another. Witzman expressed her love and support for Bozgalu.
